The Prem Sagur of Lallu Lal
Description
The Prem Sagur of Lallu Lal is a book by W. Hollings, first published in 1848. It is an English translation of a pioneering modern Hindi work, originally composed by Lallu Lal between 1804 and 1810, and based on the tenth book of the Bhagavata Purana.
The narrative recounts the life and deeds of Krishna, the beloved avatar of Vishnu, in a vivid, accessible, and emotionally resonant prose. Notable as one of the earliest prose works in Khari Boli Hindi, it brought these sacred legends to a broader audience and helped establish modern literary Hindi. Hollings' translation stands out for its clear style and lively storytelling, making timeless devotional and dramatic episodes of Krishna—from pastoral escapades to spiritual revelations—compelling for 19th-century Western readers and today's curious souls.
