contemporary age and expressed the short and simple theme in a dramatic manner. Like others Kavisūrya filled his poem with major literary merits like the rasa, rīti, guṇa, dvani and the alankaras. 4.2.1 The rasa-s: We find five sentiments more or less in the campu. The prevalence of the erotic sentiment is felt throughout the kavya. Baladeva has described the sentiment of love as per the requirement of the time and situation. Though the love play of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa is described in the campu but the poet carefully blended the erotic sentiment by the both aspects of it i.e. sambhoga and vipralambha to make it interesting.³ 4.2.1.1 Treatment of sambhoga śṛngāra : This phase is described within the social discipline and he has crossed this stage with much care and artistry. An eloquent creation like KCC should not be limited within a particular system of poetry. Every connoissure has the right to enter and accept this poem. For that Kavisūrya has given the manly touch to the divine characters and prepared an earthly play like any other 9 kāvya. The poet used all his poetic energy to express the erotic sentiment
through the sambhogasṛngāra [love in union].
