Publisher's Summary

The story of Yayati is perhaps one of the most intriguing and fascinating episodes of Mahabharata. Yayati was a great scholar and one of the noblest rulers of olden times. He followed the shastras and was devoted to the welfare of his subjects. Even the king of gods, Indra, held him in high esteem. Married to seductively beautiful Devyani, in love with her maid Sharmishtha, and father of five sons from two women, Yayati unabashedly declared, 'My lust for pleasure is unsatisfied'. His quest for the carnal continued, sparing not even his youngest son, and exchanging his old age for his son's youth.

Please note: This audiobook is in Hindi.

Beautiful writing, Beautiful narration ! Outstanding!

Loved it! The quality of writing is much higher than what u see normally, yet very simple. Beautiful development of story n protagonist talking of minute emotions too. The narrator Sakshi has a great voice. I found balanced hearing between 1.2x to 1.4x speed.

A superb story and beautiful narration.

In the first few chapters, I felt that the story is little boring. After passing them suddenly I was completely hooked to the story. There is lot to learn from the story and it is definitely a MUST READ BOOK.
