While the Bhagavad G t is an acknowledged treasure of world spiritual literature, few people know a parallel text, the vara G t . This lesser-known work is also dedicated to a god, but in this case it is iva, rather than K a, who is depicted as the omniscient creator of the world. Andrew J. Nicholson s "Lord iva s Song" makes this text available in English in an accessible new translation. A work of both poetry and philosophy, the vara G t builds on the insights of Patanjali s Yoga S tra and foreshadows later developments in tantric yoga. It deals with the pluralistic religious environment of early medieval India through an exploration of the relationship between the gods iva and Vi u.
