The pattern of collection, which characterizes the classical Indian though in general, may serve as a strongly persuasive literary device. In that role it is often employed in Sanskrit grand narratives, specifically, in Hindu epics, purāṇas, and ornate epic poems (mahākāvya). The study seeks to examine the conceptual grounds, figurative realisations and persuasive ends of this pattern in Jinasena’s (9th century CE) Ādipurāṇa, an important text of the Digambara Jain tradition. Jinasena’s work represents the genre of Jainpurāṇas, which combines and modifies the generic properties of the afore mentioned Sanskrit grand narratives.

The poetics of the Sanskrit ornate epic ( mahākāvya), recognized as the most prestigious genre of Sanskrit kāvya literature, significantly rely on literary devices creating the sense of grandeur. The aim of this study is investigate the notion of atiśaya discussed by early works on Sanskrit literary theory and to identify it as a focal term within a discourse explicating the poetics of grandeur characteristic of mahākāvya genre. The here introduced distinction between atiśaya and hyperbole enables to capture the specificity of literary grandeur in mahākāvya compositions and elucidates the broader matter of ‘excess’ in the Sanskrit literature.

This study seeks to compare the generic conventions of the Sanskrit ornate epic poem (mahākāvya) with the Longinian notion of the sublime, belonging to the literary-rhetorical tradition of the classical (Western) antiquity. It characterizes descriptions of mountains and oceans employed in the mahākāvya genre within the theoretical context of the “grand narrative” specified by Sanskrit literary theorists. The practice of Sanskrit poets characterized in this way is compared with the prerequisites of grand style, understood by Pseudo-Longinus as an actualization of the proto-aesthetic category of the sublime.
