SANSKRIT LITERARY CREATIONS

Abstract

This study reveals that originality, as viewed by Sanskrit poets, can be found in both creating new stories and reworking classic tales. In the latter case: derivations, there may be some reinterpretation, original characterization, detail addition or aspect creation; all for the purpose of fashioning novel aesthetic experiences whilst maintaining the classical importance of the ancient tale-thus joining their forefathers within the history of Sanskrit poetry.
