The Concept of Śṛṅgāra in Selected Medieval Maṅgal Kāvyas: An Aesthetic Analysis Anindita Saha, Research Scholar, Department of Bengali, Gauhati University, Guwahati, Assam, India | |
Although the medieval period of Bengali literature is widely recognized as the age of Mangal-Kavya, these literary works vividly portray not only the worship and glorification of deities but also the contemporary socio-economic, political, and religious conditions of society. Alongside these broader contests, the poets meticulously depicted domestic life and conjugal relationships, presenting the emotional experiences and intimate aspects of Bengali households. Although the primary purpose of these narratives was to establish the glory of various deities, the poets frequently employed Sringara Rasa, or the aesthetic sentiment of love, to enrich their narratives and enhance their literary appeal. Futhermore, since the concept of Sringaraoriginates in the Indian tradition of poetics, its analysis requires engagement with the theoretical principles of Sanskrit Alankarasastra. In this context, while Bharatchandra Ray’s poetry demonstrates a refined expression of Sringara Rasa, its varied manifestations are also evident in Vijay Gupta’s ‘Manasa Mangal’, Mukunda Chakraborty’s ‘Chandi Mangal’, and Ghanaram Chakraborty’s ‘Dharma Mangal’. The primary objective of this paper is to analyse the expression and aesthetic significance of Sringara Bhavana in this selected Mangal-Kavyas through the theoretical framework of Indian poetics. | |
