In the tenth century AD, a Sanskrit poet Rājaśekhara composed a peculiar text, the Kāvyamīmāṃsā, “Investigation in Poetry”. In this work he proposed a new, fresh approach to literature: kāvya as a sphere of life rather than mere theory of figuration, alankāraśāstra. This paper will concentrate on the Kavirahasya, the first chapter of the Kāvyamīmāmsā, describing a poet and his place in the world of literature.
