This publication is a translation of the book “Prem Sagar” (“Ocean of Love”) by the Indian writer Lallu ji Lal (1763–1835), performed by the outstanding Soviet Indologist Alexei Petrovich Barannikov (1890–1952). Prem Sagar is the legend of Krishna, the first major prose work in Hindi, which played a huge role in the development of this language. It was published in 1810 and, in turn, is a translation into Hindi of the stories set out in the tenth book of the Bhagavata Purana - a collection of legends and traditions about the childhood and youth of Krishna the shepherd. Once you start reading the work of Lallu ji Lal, you will plunge into the amazing atmosphere of the ancient India and will witness the adventures and exploits of Krishna - an avatar of the supreme god Vishnu, who came to Earth in order to overthrow evil and establish the divine order - dharma. The publication is intended for a wide range of readers interested in Indian religion, philosophy and culture.
