1]मधुरोपदे श पािसारांशं निखत ?
कववपररचयः This lesson मधुरोपदे श: was taken from मधुराववजय Kavya which was
written by Ganga devi. She was a princess of Warangal. She wrote kavyas in
Sanskrit literature. She became a scholar by learning all sastras from Viswanatha
who was in the court of Prataparudra and from Agastya Pandit.
According to history she was a brave and wise lady. As poet she served in the
royal court, she entered the battle field with her husband and inspired the woman
warriors. She had many talents.
She wrote मधुराववजय with the description of her husbands bravery as a king. She
wrote the message of Bukkaraya to kamparaya before his crowning ceremony.
He preaches the rules of administration in pleasant words which are like honey
He suggested him to take care of the country.
Oh! my dear son Lord ship by birth, fresh youth, incompa rable beauty and super
human strength all are a great multi tude of ills. Develop self control with the help
of गुरूपदे शः !
The message of the master is just like the diamond ear rings which don't give any
pain to the ears. गुरूपदे शः वकल कथ्यते बुधतः रककतशं वकचन रत्नकुण्डलम् ।
A king can conquer his enemies by getting the preaching of his master. Penance
will cause of physical strain. But taking training from a teacher is great worship
without any strain. You will be purified by the waters of teaching. "सतामजातगात्र
क्षयमतं तपः "
Generally, in early youth, the intellect gets pollute, even though it has
been'cleansed with the waters of scriptures, The elephants strength never cores
the pokes of a mahoot Just as the youth follow the wrong tracks. Their knowledge
covered with the darkness. This is the dangerous stage of youth hood. This is the
cause of wickedness.
The king has to leave all the bad habits like gambling, drinking, hunting and the
company of ladies. So, you should be stable minded and rule the empire as a
great king of proven valour.
The kings get ensnared (captured) by an ill-behaved ladies and they will become
helpless. Moreover, they forget their origins in the pride of wealth to enjoy the
different sensual pleasures. Indiscipline wealth turns a person into a bad one.
"गुणलुब्ाः स्वयमेव सम्पदः |
Therefore, in this duty of ruling the empire which is terrible, the preaching of the
teacher should sharpen you to get the great ability for ruling. भवत् गुणतलतभते लक्ष्मी
स्मस्थरता मनारतम् ॥
The king should please the people in his empire by giving punishment to the
criminals only. He should show his mercy on the needed. The king will lose his
goodwill by hash punishments. The quality of mercy is a gentle rain from the
heaven. "Don't destroy your prosperity, you should protect your wealth also."
Finally, he said to know the difference between the good and bad with your pure
mind and rule the empire with all my blessings.
PRESENT STORY: After getting victory over the demons the gods thought that
the success was their own efforts only. Then the Brahman (Eeshwara) understood
the pride of the gods and he wanted to destroy their pride and arrogance.
Because pride will destroy humanity and dharma So he appeared them in the
guise of Yaksha. After seeing him they frightened by his terrific form. "तित षां ववजज्ञौ
तेभ्यो प्रादु ः बभूव
Later the gods wanted to know who he was? By that curiosity the gods
approached Agni deva and requested him "let you know who the terrible spirit
is?.Then Agni deva accepted it and he went to the place of Yaksha. At the moment
Yaksha asked Agni "who are you?"
TESTING THE POWER OF AGNI AND VAAYU :-On hearing it, Agni replied "I am
the great Agnideva. I also called as Jathavoda". Then Yaksha asked him "ohl what
power do you possess of such great fame?"."अहमिीवत अब्रवीत् जातवेदा वा
अहमिीवत "
Agni said to Yaksha "ohl am very powerful. can burn down everything on the
earth". Then Yaksha put a straw before him and said "burn this". At the moment
Agni tried to burn it with his mighty power but he couldn't burn the straw. Then
Agni returned with disappointment from here and told the gods that he failed in
finding out who he was (yaksha). Later the gods approched Vayudeva and
requested him "oh Vayudeva! let you know who the terrible spirit is?".
"ववजानीवह वकमेतत्क्षवमवत तथेवत"
Then Vayudeva accepted it and went to the place of Yaksha. At the moment
Yaksha asked Vayu "who are you?". On hearing it, Vayu replied "oh! am the great
Vayudeva. also called as Matharishwa. Then Yaksha asked him "oh! what power
do you possess of such great fame?" Vayu said to Yaksha that he can lift up
whatever is there on the earth. Then Yaksha put a straw before of him and said
"lift it up". At the moment Vayu tried to lift it up with his mighty power but he
couldn't lift the straw. Vayu also failed in finding out who he was and returned
from there Later the gods approached Indradeva and requested him "oh Indral

3] Banabhatta
Introduction: Banabhatta was the court poet of Harsha vardhana who ruled
Sthaneswar during 606-646 AD. He wrote two prose kavyas namely
hrshacharita and Kadambari.
A great poet of India, Banabhatta was born around the 7th century in a village
in India. He was born in Pritikuta village, which was situated on the banks of
Hiranyavahu. This village used to exist in the district, which is now called,
Chhapra. He was born to Chitrabhanu and Rajadevi and his was a family of
vatsyayana gotra. Born in a Brahman family, he was a poor but a clever child.
Even during his childhood, he showed signs of great potential and finished his
education with much dedication and hard work. His father was a learned
Brahman and he went on to become one of the greatest poets of India. He
served at the court of King Harshavardhana of Kanauj. To know more about
Banabhatta, continue to read this insightful biography on him
PersonalLife
The life history of Banabhatta is very interesting and he went on to become a
renowned Sanskrit scholar. His father's death caused him an emotional setback
and he became a wanderer but after sometime came back to his village. Upon
his return, he received a letter from the cousin of King Harsha. King Harsha was
camping near Manitara at that time. After meeting with him, Banabhatta
became an instant favorite of King Harsha. The public library in Aurangabad,
Bihar, the real birth place of Banabhatta, still has manuscripts of Banabhatta's
work archived in it.
MajorWork
This poetic genius wrote one of the most famous and earliest novels, known as
Kadambari. It is a biographical work of Harsha and Kadambari. A very famous
Sanskrit pun about Kadambari is as follows: Kadambari Rasajnaanaam aahaaropi
na rochate. This means that while one reads the Kadambari, one becomes so
engrossed in it that even food is forgotten. It is a very famous oratory pun used
in Sanskrit.
Bana has written novels like Harsha Charita, Kadambari, Chandikasataka and
Parvatiparinaya. It is said that he died before he could finish Harsha Charita and
his son, Bhusanbhatta, finished his work. Although, there is not much that can
be critically acclaimed about Chandikasataka and Parvatiparinaya but it is said
that he used to receive many rewards and accolades from King Harsha, as an
appreciation of his work and talent.
Writing Style
After studying his major works, it is quite apparent that his grammar is
impeccable and he uses a lot of figure of speech in his work. His prose was
generally melodious and rhythmical. His peculiar style was to use longer verses,
comprising of short and crisp words. The sharpness in his writing style and his
patent use of figure of speech has inspired many a writers after his time. With
his writing in Harshacharita and Kadambri, Banabhatta pretty much proved it
that he writes in a Brahmin centric way. In his prologue to both the books, Bana
has tried to trace his Brahmin lineage and had given it a heavenly aspect, tried
to prove that Brahmins have originated directly from the gods. He used to use
clear demarcations between the Brahmins of the society and the rest of the
general public. In the realm of these intentions he ended up creating a very
strong 'other' in his novellas.

1. पानणनि
Panini was the author of Sanskrit grammar. He wrote Ashtadhyayi. This
Ashtadhyayi is a matchless and famous work in terms of thorough research, clear
technicality and clever composition of the amphorisms.
There are diverse opinions regarding the date of Panini. Western scholars like
Weaver, Max Muller etc. place him around 350 B.C. According to Chelvalkar Panini
lived somewhere between 600 B.C. and 700 B.C.
Panini was known as Aahika, Siloni, Dakshiputra, Salaturiya also. Hsuan Tsang
indicated that he belonged to the Gandhara country and lived in the village of
Salaturiya. Ancient seers praised him as an extraordinary genius. 'Sutrakara'
(composer of sutras) was his title.
During the time of Panini there were research institutions for the study of
grammar under the name of charanas. Studies on philology were carried out in
those Institutes. Panini critically analyzed all those studies and mentioned their
opinions In his work. Prior to Panini, the grammarians either studied the Vedic
words or the worldly words. But Panini made his aphorisms having studied both
the Vedic and Classic words completely.
In the second chapter, 'the aphorisms of compounds are covered in the first two
sections. In the third section, the karaka-sutras are dealt with. The luk aphorisms
are in the fourth section.
The third, fourth and fifth chapters cover the affixes, their meanings and krit
affixes. From sixth to eighth chapters sandhis are given. Thus Panini composed
Ashtadhyayi in a systematic and scientific way.
The work of Panini facilitates the study of Sanskrit grammar. Sanskrit was a
spoken language at the time of Panini. The grammar of Panini is incomparable
regarding the study of historical aspects, language etc. That is why the work of
Panini is still studied and will be studied in future also.
2. कौनिल्योः
There are a total of eighteen sciences in Sanskrit literature. They re the four Vedas,
the six ancillaries of the Veda, Mimamsa, Nyaya, Purannam, Dharmasastra,

Arthasastra. He was also known as hanakya. His other names were Vishnugupta
and Vatsyayana. His rthasastra is a famous text in the world litereature. Polity,
deception, administration etc. were elaborately discussed in this work.
3]भरतमुनि
Indian poetics helps in critically studying the world literature. Natyashastra was
the first book on Indian poetics. This work is even now considered an authority
on dance. Historians opine that Bharata lived between 1000 and 500 B.C.
According to the critics the Natyashastra was small in size in the beginning, but
later on it became a large volume with the addition of many other writings. That
is why there is no systematic arrangement in the division of the topics or
explanation. Many commentaries appeared on the Sanskrit
The Author:
Sage Bharata is the father of Indian Theatrical arts. He was born in Kashmir
between 200 and 400 B.C. Some historians place him between 1000 B.C, and 500
B.C. According to some critics he was a follower of Kashmiri Saivism.
The Natyashastra:
There are around 6000 verses and passages in the Natyashastra in 36 chapters.
Some people opine that this was not the work of single author. The Natyashastra
discusses many topics such as dance, drama music, poetics etc.Thus it can be said
to be the source of Indian poetics, music dance and theatre. The main topics
covered in the book are
They are: "Rasa (sentiments), Bhava (emotions), abhinaya (acting dharmi
(practices of performance), vritti (styles), pravritti (region styles), siddhi
(achievement), swara (notes), atodya (instrumen music), gana (singing) and ranga
(stage)."These have been explained in the Natyasastra. Bharata th proclaims:
"There is no wisdom, skill, knowledge, art, yoga or which is not there in this
dance."
Dance is an imitation of mood. But such an imitation shou be based on rasa. Rasa
is nothing but bliss. It is wisdom. experience is the main purpose of a poem or
drama. This is opinion of Bharata.
"This Natya will be the cause of bliss to all those poor beings who are afflicted by
difficulties, hardships and sorrows." Among the many commentaries on the
Natyashastra,Abhinava-gupta's Abhinav Bharati is the most famous one.
4]भारनव:
The Poet: After Kalidasa, it is Bhargavi who is greatly adored by the reader and
the critic of the Sanskrit Kavya Literature. The saying area - the depth of meaning
of Bhargavi - well establishes this.
His Life: Damodara is the other name of Bharavi. His father Narayanaswamy was
a Kausika brahmin. Dandin the famous author of the Dasakumaracharitra was the
grandson of Bharavi. Sic, The date of Bharavi is placed in the Sixth Century A.D.

belittling him always, but realised his mistake and 0. as punishment stayed in his
in-laws house where he faced many an insult and in those trying days penned the
great epic tal Kiratarjuniya.
The Work: Kiratarjuniya is one of the five great epics of the us Sanskrit Literature.
The epic contains eighteen cantos where the aft story of the acquisition of the
pasupata by Arjuna is well described. The heroic deeds of Arjuna make the
sentiment of Veera prominent in epic. The poet's knowledge of state craft is
revealed in the first canto where the spy reports on the rule of Duryodhana to
Dharmaraja. This kavya is considered by many critics as a fine example of
Mahakavya as it has all the characteristics of Mahakavya.
But he built a great administration system. After that he continued to live in his
thatched hut, and turned his attention on gaining wisdom. For the safety and
stability of the united India, he performed the marriage of Chandra-gupta with
Helen, the daughter of Alexander's commander-in-chief Seleucus. Such a
visionary patriot Kautilya was born in the third century before Christ and authored
the Chanakyaniti and Arthasastra. There are seventeen chapters in Chanakyaniti.
They have a total of 350 verses. Invaluable suggestions for leading an ideal life
have been given there.
The Arthasastra of Kautilya has been translated into almost all the languages of
India. This was written after the coronation of Chandragupta. Its main purpose

voluminous work. It was probably written in the third century before Christ.
Kautilya's personal experiences formed the base for the work, Polity, especially
administration is discussed in detail in the book. In the first chapter titled
'Dandanlti nirupana', the essence of Sukraniti is given. Kautilya says: "Scientific
study develops in a country well protected by weapons." He himself says:
"Arthasastra is written consolidating the teachings of the previous seers on the
acquisition and administration of a kingdom."
Kautilya, the expounder of Arthasastra lived between the 3rd and 4th centuries
B.C. He was also known as Chanakya, Vishnugupta and Vatsyayana. Unable to
accept the tyrannical ways of the Nandas, he dethroned them and crowned
Chandragupta as the king of Magadha. He made Rakshasa, the minister of the
Nandas as the minister of Chandragupta. He never aspired to rule the kingdom.
He led a simple life living in a hut. He wrote Arthasastra, a treatise on the
acquisition and protection of land. Arthasasta is considered as one of the
eighteen clenches of study.
