In Hinduism

Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)

Source: HAL: The Karpūramañjarī and its successors

Karpūramañjarī (कर्पूरमञ्जरी) is the name of a Saṭṭaka type of Dramatic Play by written Rājaśekhara (9th-10th centuries, Kannauj).—Rājaśekhara's works are often cited in collections of stanzas (subhāṣita) and his ideas on poetic art are mentioned, and even textually taken up, in the treatises of late theorists, such as Abhinavagupta, Bhoja, Kṣemendra and Hemacandra. His Karpūramañjarī has become the reference of this genre, often cited and analyzed by theorists, then copied by later authors. Nevertheless, this work transcends the limit of its own genre because some of its scenes have also become examples to be applied in satire (prahasana).
