About this listen

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.

I knew the basic story but wanted to read this retelling for some time now. It's so well-written. Philosophical and thought-provoking in every scene. Since it was written in 1959, I had initially expected a lot of outdated, sexist, misogynistic views. But while the book does show the stark difference between assigned gender roles for men and women, it doesn't feel like it's promoting misogyny. It just represents that era, which is expected. In that sense, the book actually felt surprisingly progressive, which was both unexpected and refreshing. Will definitely recommend it.

Also want to say a few words about its Narrator - Sakshi Malhotra.

A huge problem with Hindi audiobooks is that most narrators don't know the exact pronunciations. I have left some books for this exact reason in the past. Because the constant mispronunciations are very distracting. But this narrator was so amazing, it definitely definitely added a lot to my experience of this book. I don't think she made even a single error in the whole book. The narration was so smooth, I actually went and searched to see if she had narrated any other books on Audible. Will definitely recommend this narrator as well.

Well-written, well-narrated book!
