Kavyashastra (science of poetry)
: Shodhganga: Bhismacaritam a critical study厂补迟测补惫补迟墨 (啶膏い啷嵿く啶掂い啷�) figures as a female character in the Bh墨峁acarita (Bhishma Charitra) which is a 尘补丑腻办腻惫测补 (鈥榚pic poem鈥�) written by Hari Narayan Dikshit.鈥敵Р钩俨獠贡共钩倌� was the queen of the Kuru King 艢膩ntanu and the great-grandmother of the P膩峁囜笉ava and Kaurava princes, principal characters of the Mah膩产丑腻谤补迟补. According to the Pur膩峁嘺s, she was born to the Cedi King Vasu (also known as Uparicara Vasu) and a fish, who was actually a celestial lady, Adrik膩. But she was nevertheless brought up as a commoner, an adopted daughter to a ferryman or fisherman or a 诲腻艣别测墨. She was also known as Matsyagandh膩 (one who has the smell of fish) in her earlier life and Yojanagandh膩 in her later life. Another name for her was Kali. She was sweet by her speech.
When 厂补迟测补惫补迟墨 grew older, 厂补迟测补惫补迟墨 took to ferrying pilgrims across the river Yamun膩. Once she was taking the Sage Par膩艣ara in her boat. Smitten by her charm he wanted to make love to her. Par膩艣ara told her that she was destined to give birth to a very great person from this liaison. She placed three conditions before him. The first was that no one on shore should see what they were doing, so Par膩艣ara created an artificial mist around them. The second was that she should retain her virginity. Par膩艣ara assured her that after she gave birth she would again become a virgin and when she got married her husband would not know. Being born from a fish, she had retained a fishy smell. Hence she was sometimes called by the derogatory name Matsyagandh膩 or the one who smells like a fish. She wanted this to be replaced by an intoxicating fragrance. Par膩艣ara agreed to this as well. He said that a divine aroma would emanate out of her, which could be sensed for a yojana, a distance equal to nine miles. She would then be known as Yojanagandh膩 meaning one whose fragrance spreads for a yojana.
As a young woman, 厂补迟测补惫补迟墨 met the wandering sage Par膩艣ara, by whom she had a son, Vy膩sa. His birth took place in secret on an island in the river Yamun膩. Later, King 艢膩ntanu of Hastin膩pura saw her and asked her to marry him. Her father allowed her to marry on condition that their children would inherit the throne. Their children were Citr膩峁単ada and Vicitrav墨rya. After 艢膩ntanu鈥檚 death, she with her princely sons ruled the kingdom. Although both these sons died childless, she arranged for her first son Vy膩sa to father the children of the two wives of Vicitrav墨rya (Ambik膩 and Amb膩lik膩).
Kavyashastra (啶曕ぞ啶掂啶ざ啶距じ啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ, 办腻惫测补艣腻蝉迟谤补) 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.
