These new poems are written from the viewpoint\u0026amp;nbsp;of Devadatta, Siddhattha's jealous and ambitious cousin, who attempted to murder him\u0026amp;nbsp;three times. They are marked by an extraordinary richness of language and detail,\u0026amp;nbsp;and a dedication to sensation, which is in contrast to Siddhattha's purity, and caused at\u0026amp;nbsp;least in part by Devadatta's desire for Yasodahra, his cousin's wife.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46861498679454,"sku":"ADS-9781922146526","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781922146526.jpg?v=1779252914","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781922146526","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
