In Hinduism
Kavya (poetry)
Bharataroha (भरतरोह) is the name of a minister of Pālaka, an ancient king from Ujjayinī, according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 112. Accordingly, as Gopālaka said to Naravāhanadatta: “... I know so much that the lady was lately married to Pālaka’s son; so let the prince be summoned from Ujjayinī, together with the minister, Bharataroha; then we shall get at the truth”.
The Kathāsaritsāgara (‘ocean of streams of story’), mentioning Bharataroha, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince Naravāhanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the vidyādharas (celestial beings). The work is said to have been an adaptation of Guṇāḍhya’s Bṛhatkathā consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.
Kavya (काव्य, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetry’ and natya, or ‘dramatic poetry’.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
