The chapters look, each from a different angle, at how itinerancy is reflected in religious poetry, what are the purposes of the wanderers' poems or songs, and how the wandering poets relate to local communities, sacred geography, and institutionalized religion. We encounter priest-poets in search of munificent patrons, renouncers and yogins who sing about the bliss and hardship of wandering alone in the wilderness, Hindu pilgrims and opponents of pilgrimage, antinomian Buddhist-Tantric poets from Bengal, and the originator of the haiku. We are led along roads travelled by many, as well as paths tread by few. 517 $aSongs on the Road 606 $aReligious poetry 615 0$aReligious poetry. 676 $a808.819382 702 $aLarsson$b Stefan 702 $aEdholm$b Kristoffer 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910493729603321 996 $aSongs on the Road$92989997 997 $aUNINA
