DESCRIPTION
The present book is a collection of research papers which were written on various topics from time to time. This book includes papers written on literary criticism. Some deal with the knotty problems of Sanskrit poetics. Such as number of Rasas and Arthopaksepakas in Bharata, while some deal with the works written in Sanskrit in modern times which defy the set patterns of the old. All the papers have been written keeping in view the tenets of Sanskrit poetics and dramaturgy, only two essays, 'Adhunika Sanskrit Nataka and Adhunika Sanskrit Sahitya Mein Vidusiyon ka Yogadana' are descriptive and informative in nature. I will be very thankful if any of the scholars are benefited by reading the present book. I seek all the blessings of learned scholars and hope that the book will be received with goodwill in literary circles of Sanskrit scholars.
