Following his Sitayana (1987) Prof. Iyengar's Saga of Seven Mothers: Satisaptakam is a re-telling in verse of select Tales from India's munificent Epi and Puranic heritage, notably the Mahabharata, the Bhagavata and the Tamil classic, Silappadhikaran (The Lay of the Anklet). The Seven Satis invoked here - DEVAHUTI, SUKANYA, DEVAYANI, DAMAYANTI, RENUKA, DRAUPADI AND KANNAKI - team into a spectrum a archetypal variety projecting almost a parable of Evolution spanning a whole Yoga Cycle.
