The author traces the development of the theme of Krishna as butter
thief from its earliest appearance in literature and art until the
present. He focuses on the dramas (ras lilas) of Krishna's native Braj
and on the Sur Sagar, a collection of verse attributed to the
sixteenth-century poet Sur Das that is as familiar to Hindi speakers
as Mother Goose is to us. Originally published in 1983. The Princeton
Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again
make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
