Kavyashastra (science of poetry)
: Shodhganga: The Kavyavilasa of Ciranjiva Bhattacarya (kavyashastra)屹ⲹ (काव्�, “poetry�).—Ācrya Mammaṭa (in his 屹ⲹprakśa) defines poetry (屹ⲹ) as a combination of sound and sense, free from blemishes, endowed with qualities and sometimes devoid also of poetic figures or embellishments. Cirañjīva has explained this definition of poetry as follows—word and sense conjointly form the genus of poetry and absence of defect, use of ṇa and employment of ṃk constitute its distinguishing features. It has also been said that in poetry rarely a distinct figure of speech may be absent. As Mammaṭa has said Cirañjīva is also of opinion that word and meaning constitute poetry.
屹ⲹ defined according to the Śaradgama:—“The expression which is endowed with rasa, ṃk, ṇa, īپ, ṣaṇa and which is devoid of ṣa has the appellation of 屹ⲹ�. According to this view the presence of rasa, īپ and ṣaṇa is essential in a poetry.
屹ⲹ (poetry) as defined by the most modern critics, hold that to be poetry only an exclusive charmingness in composition is necessary. So a composition which is capable of generating exclusive charmingness and having some minor blemishes may be designated as a poetry with blemishes, but not as non-poetry (a屹ⲹ). Even in the presence of rasa etc. if there is no exclusive type of charmingness, the impression of experienced critics that this poetry does not take place and this view is well accepted by the modern critics.
: Shodhganga: Bhismacaritam a critical study屹ⲹ (काव्�) literally and in its widest sense connotes all that is the work of a poet. In that sense 屹ⲹ is the subject of Classical Sanskrit Literature. Numerous definitions of poetry have been attempted from time to time by Sanskrit theorists. These definitions have generally been influenced by the author’s conception of the essence of poetry. In some cases, however, the definitions are attempts on the part of their authors to describe rather than to define. In earlier definitions, the emphasis lies on the unique relationship between the word and meaning. Bhmaha’s definition of poetry is one of the earliest definitions of poetry. According to him “A happy fusion of Ś岹 (Sound) and Artha (sense) is called poetry.
屹ⲹ is that which touches the inmost cords of the human mind and diffuses itself into the crevices of the heart, working up a lasting sense of delight. It is an expression in the beautiful form and melodious language of the best thoughts and noblest emotions, which is the spectacle of life, awakening the finest souls.
屹ⲹ is divided broadly into two classes viz. śravya-屹ⲹ, dṛśya-屹ⲹ. [...] Some call 屹ⲹs, artificial epics. 屹ⲹ is three-fold viz. prabandha, muktaka and campu. In it Prabandha屹ⲹ is two-fold viz. Mah屹ⲹ and Khaṇḍa屹ⲹ.
: DASH: The Theology of Literary Emotions in Medieval Kashmir屹ⲹ (काव्�) refers to “poetry�, according to the Ānandavardhana’s 9th century Dhvanloka, an important philosophical work on the theory of poetic manifestation (dhvani) or ‘the soul of poetry�.—Accordingly, “In view of such disagreements [over the existence and nature of poetic manifestation], we shall state its true nature in order to delight the hearts of sensitive readers. For the nature of this [poetic manifestation], which is the secret of all good poets' poetry (sat-kavi-屹ⲹ), which, moreover, is clearly seen to be at work in such great poems as the 峾ⲹṇa and the Mahbhrata, will here be revealed so that the bliss [which arises] in the hearts of sensitive readers. . . may take firm hold in their hearts�.
: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (kavya)屹ⲹ (काव्�) refers to “poetry� while Rasa (“the sentiment�) is that which touches our heart and fills it with a great sensation, after reading or hearing a piece of poetry or viewing a performing art.
According to the Shityadarpaṇa, there are two broad divisions of 屹ⲹ (poetry) viz.,
- dṛśya-屹ⲹ and
- śravya-屹ⲹ.
Mammaṭabhaṭṭa, the author of the 屹ⲹprakśa accepts three kinds of 屹ⲹ viz.,
- dhvani-屹ⲹ,
- guṇībhūtavyaṅga-屹ⲹ and
- citra-屹ⲹ.
In the Shityadarpaṇa, only two varieties of 屹ⲹ are accepted which are�
- dhvani-屹ⲹ and
- guṇībhūtavyaṅga-屹ⲹ.

Kavyashastra (काव्यशास्त्र, 屹ⲹśstra) refers to the ancient Indian tradition of poetry (kavya). Canonical literature (shastra) of the includes encyclopedic manuals dealing with prosody, rhetoric and various other guidelines serving to teach the poet how to compose literature.
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
: Shodhganga: Kohala in the Sanskrit textual tradition (ns)Kavya (कव्य) refers to one of the sixteen divisions of the ٱśī-ū貹첹 compositions in ancient Indian art of dance and theater.—Puruṣottama Miśr, while defining the terms and śī quotes the Saṅgītanryaṇa (Vol. II, pp.406-410) which he says has been taken from Kohala (the work of Kohala). Following , the śī forms are next listed out. First is a list of sixteen types as described by Dattila. [e.g., kavya] [...] This list is followed by yet another bearing the names of another 12 forms.

Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, ṭyśٰ) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
General definition (in Hinduism)
: Oxford Reference: Indian Philosophy“屹ⲹ� is a Sanskrit term used to designate poetry variously characterized as classical, ornate, courtly, or stylized. To be sure, kavya usually involves erudition and elegance, but a poet (kavi) might equally spurn the many available conventions to create a work for simpler tastes. India’s critics debated how to define kavya for over a millennium. Its simplest formulation is sound and sense combined, or “the output of poets.� However, connoisseurs have long understood it as something more elegant, more crafted than gnomic, didactic, or narrative versification—so much so that the prestige of kavya extended even to those who wrote technical treatises in the exact sciences. This article covers works in Sanskrit with brief references to the related literatures in the Prkrits, old Tamil, Apabhraṃśa, and the various literary precursors to India’s modern languages.
: WikiPedia: Hinduism屹ⲹ (काव्�, “poetry�) refers to the Sanskrit literary style used by Indian court poets flourishing from the first half of the seventh century AD. This literary style is characterised by abundant usage of figures of speech, metaphors, similes, and hyperbole to create its emotional effects. The result is a short lyrical work, court epic, narrative or dramatic work. "Kavya" can refer to the style or the completed body of literature. Asvaghosa (c. 80-150 AD), a philosopher and poet considered the father of Sanskrit drama, is attributed with first using the word.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: Rigpa Shedra: Wiki屹ⲹ (काव्�) refers to “poetry� and is known in Tibetan as snyan ngag.—As one of the “Five Minor Sciences� (Tibetan: rig gnas chung lnga) it forms part of the �Ten Sciences� (Tibetan: rig gnas bcu), or fields of knowledge.

Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (Բ) are collected indepently.
