The paper presents a selection of epigraphic and literary evidence thereof and sketches a historical and social background of avadhāna to go with a report on the present position of its tradition of performance as well as prevailing set of rules

In the tenth century AD, a Sanskrit poet Rājaśekhara composed a peculiar text, the Kāvyamīmāṃsā, “Investigation in Poetry”.

This paper will concentrate on the Kavirahasya, the first chapter of the Kāvyamīmāmsā, describing a poet and his place in the world of literature.
