Summary

The sequel to God Inside Out: Siva's Game of Dice (OUP, 1997). The story of Daruvana is the richest and most complex of all narratives about Siva, and provides scope fr sustained interpretation. A god wanders into a forest of Himalaya pine trees and becomes lost. Human beings encounter this god. The meeting changes both parties.
