Hi group.
Can someone suggest a relatively simple mahakavya for me to read. I have
become completely demoralized by this Sisupalavadha. The slesas at the end of
the sixteenth canto are the most incomprehensible language I have ever laid
eyes on. I want to continue to try to read kavya, but need a work that is not
so far beyond my ability.
Phillip

Nothing can be simpler more beautiful than the Ramayana.
It has all the embellishments (alankaras etc.) yet in a simple language.
Next comes the Mahabharata.

I'm finding the pseudo-Kalidasa of the later cantos of the Kumarasambhava is at
the level that I can work on without much difficulty.
