Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Puranic Encyclopediaµž³óÄå³¾²¹³ó²¹ (ą¤ą¤¾ą¤®ą¤¹).āA critic who lived in the sixth century A.D. He was one of the top critics in the Sanskrit language. His important work is 'KÄvyÄlaį¹kÄra'. This is also called BhÄmahÄlaį¹kÄra by a few. There are six chapters in this. The first chapter deals with KÄvyaÅarÄ«ra, the second and third with Alaį¹kÄra, the fourth with KÄvyadoį¹£a the fifth with NyÄya and the sixth with ÅabdaÅuddhi. As against Daį¹įøÄ« µž³óÄå³¾²¹³ó²¹ separates 'KathÄ' from 'ÄkhyÄyikÄ'. According to him the requisites of a good KÄvya are sweetness, pleasantness and liveliness. Daį¹įøÄ« prescribes ten attributes for a good KÄvya. µž³óÄå³¾²¹³ó²¹ is of opinion that Vakrokti is no alaį¹kÄra at all. In a wider sense it is 'atiÅayokti' (exaggeration). But µž³óÄå³¾²¹³ó²¹ admits it has a place in KÄvya.
The Purana (ą¤Ŗą„ą¤°ą¤¾ą¤�, purÄį¹as) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient Indiaās vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
