Panchkanyas in Hindu mythology are Ahalya, Draupadi, Kunti, Tara and Mandodari. Of these five iconic women, the former three have been extolled by writers, poets, commentators and mythologists for their roles in the epics. Tara and Mandodari are the two women in the list of Panchkanyas, whom writers have not heralded, possibly because their consorts were infamous and ungodly in character. Yet, Haldhar Nag has taken up these two neglected characters in his poem Tara Mandodari. With his imaginative and creative storytelling, he has narrated how similar their plight was.
Aside from these two long poems, this volume contains 29 short poems. Like all volumes of Kavyanjali, this one contains both the versions - original by Padma Shri Haldhar Nag and the English version translated by Surendra Nath.
The printed books (paperbacks) of Kavyanjali contain both the versions - the original by the poet in Sambalpuri-Kosali and its English translation. Amazon Kindle eBooks do not support the vernacular language; hence it is only the English version for eBooks. Those interested in bilingual copies may opt for paperbacks.
