Abstract
Ancient Sanskrit literature is perhaps the oldest literature in the world. Sanskrit poetics is Indian poetics; it is an epitome of theories and laws related to poetry and drama. Like Aristotle’s Poetics, Sanskrit poetics also focuses on the drama. Bharata’s Natyashastra is a milestone in ancient Sanskrit poetics. Mahakavi Kalidasa occupies a unique place not only in Sanskrit but also on World drama. Bhasa, Bhavbhuti, Harsha, Shudrak and Ashvaghosha are some of the noted dramatist.
