SHORT DESCRIPTION:

”Odia Subhashita Sankalana” by Prof. Janaki Balabha Mohanty is a collection of ”Subhashitas” in the Odia language. Subhashitas are genre of Sanskrit (and by extension, other india language like Odia) literary works that often take the form of epigrams or maxims. They are concise, well expressed verses that convey ethical, moral, philosophycal, or practical wisdom, moral, philosophycal, or practical wisdom, often with poetic flourish. Given prof. Janaki Balabha Mohanty’s reputation as a prominent Odia literateur, critic, and scholar, his ”Subhashita Sankalana” would be a curated compilation of such insightful verses, likely drawing from classical and traditional sources, and perhaps including some of his own compositions or interpretation. The book would aim to present these nuggets of wisdom in an accessible format for Odia readers.
