Sāhityadarpaṇaḥ Part 3 (Paricchedas 2-4)

Sāhityadarpaṇa of Viśvanātha is one of the most popular basic texts of Sāhityaśāstra, covering all the foundational concepts of Kāvya and its varied aspects. It is universally studied by students of Sanskrit poetics, as it is one of easier texts of the genre.

In these audio lectures, Ms. Visalakshi Sankaran explains the Paricchedas 2-4 of the text in simple Tamil. These cover the various aspects of vaakya, a detailed exposition of rasa, characteristics of the various types of kaavya and the vyanjanaa vritti.
