In Hinduism
Kavya (poetry)
: archive.org: Naisadhacarita of SriharsaҴǰṅk (गोरङ्क�) means both “a bard� and “a Jaina mendicant�.—The word Nagna means also a Jaina mendicant, and it is remarkable that there is another word Ҵǰṅk which also means both “a bard� and “a Jaina mendicant�. Viśvaprakāśa, for instance, says “ǰṅk� pakṣijātau ca bhavennagnakavandinoḥ�, “kṣapaṇavandino� | nagnakaḥ�. Medinī and Anekārthasaṃhraha say the same thing, while Keśavasvāmin gives only Nagna and Vandina as the meanings of Ҵǰṅk. Trikāṇḍaśeṣa says “khage nagne ca ǰṅkḥ�. The double meanning of the two words Nagna (or Nagnācārya) and Ҵǰṅk seems to sugget that Jaiona mendicants soimetimes served as bards or panegyrists.

Kavya (काव्�, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetry� and natya, or ‘dramatic poetry�.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
