The term Pushpahasah has been chosen purposefully as the title of the present collection of my Sanskrit poems for its manifold significance. In the first place, it is one of the thousand names of the God Vishnu, as it occurs in the Vishnusahasranama:
Adharanilayo Dhāta Pushpahasah Prajagarah |
Secondly, it points to the name of the author's father, Bishan Das Chhabra, corrupt form of Vishnu Dāsa Chapotkata.
Besides, the title literally means blossoming of flowers. The collection of poems, composed by the author, mainly during the years 1929 to 1969, in other words, is a bouquet of flowers of different hues and shades, blown out and emanating fragrance. It is hoped that lovers of Sanskrit will enjoy them.
