Description
Kavi-Rahasyam, meaning “The Secret of Poetry,” is a foundational work in Sanskrit literary criticism and poetic theory. This hardcover edition presents a detailed exploration of how poetic meaning is constructed through careful selection and arrangement of linguistic roots within metrical composition.
The text functions simultaneously as a theoretical treatise on poetry and as a practical lexicon of Sanskrit roots, demonstrating how skilled poets craft their verses using fundamental linguistic building blocks. The scholarly annotations by Editor Sourindro Mohun Tagore Bhatta Halayudha provide essential context and interpretation for modern readers seeking to understand classical Sanskrit poetics.
This work is invaluable for Sanskrit scholars, linguists, and students of classical Indian literature who wish to deepen their understanding of how language and meaning operate within the constraints of traditional verse composition.
