Synopsis
The 'Playworld of Sanskrit Drama' is the 'poetic universe' (kavyasam) posited by Anandavardhana and other poeticians. Each of the seven plays studied here - works of Bhasa, Kalidasa, Sudraka and Visakhadatta - provides us with a different angle of approach to the crucial issues of kavya and their fundamental ambivalence, which cannot be understood or even delineated by the conventional approach to Indian aesthetics.
