compare the sanskrit epic and the sanskrit drama/play in about 200 words

Hello,

Here is the answer to your query :

The major Sanskrit epics, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, provide a large body of data in a form of Sanskrit slightly later than Vedic Prose, and close to the Classical sanskrit language. There is considerably more evidence for transitive nouns and ad jectives in the epics than in Vedic Prose, but compared with the Rigveda transitive nouns and adjectives are still less common, and show less morphological variety. Again, sta tistical analysis shows that there is a clear correlation between transitivity and predi cation.

The Sanskrit drama is the ultimate foundation of Indian theatre and the success of present indian theatre is solely dependent on it. The Sanskrit drama flourished in its glory under the patronage of the court and the aristocracy till the 12th century when the Mohammedan intrusion shifted the Sanskrit stage. The glory of Sanskrit drama became a thing of the past in the period of decline when it was divorced gradually from the stage. But still it has relevance in folk theatre at present. The genuine development of Sanskrit drama is ceased down in true sense except its few elements are in still practice. Modern Indian theatre is under the great influence of Western philosophy which neglected the traditional Sanskrit drama tradition. Nevertheless, we cannot deny the importance of Sanskrit drama tradition in the development of Indian theatre.

Hope it helps
Thank you !!!

Hello candidate,

There are a large number of Indian mythological plays which have been written in Sanskrit as it was the major language which was most commonly used at that time.

Several great epics including the Mahabharata and Ramayana have been written down in Sanskrit language originally. But, if you would clearly mention the name of the play which you are interested in, much easier on our part to provide you with the appropriate details.

Have a good day.
