In Hinduism
Kavya (poetry)
Source: academia.edu: Gleanings from Atula’s MusikavamsaEli (एलि) is the name of a mountain, according to the historical poem Mūṣikavaṃśa by Atula dealing with the royal lineage of North Kerala in roughly 1000 verses.—The Mūṣikavaṃśa begins with an account of a pregnant queen, guarded by her family priest, escaping the animosity of sage Jāmadagnya Rāma, more popularly known as Paraśurāma (‘Rāma with axe’) in the West coast of India, reaching the mountain called Eli.
Note: There is the mountain called Ezhimala in Malayalam in north Kerala which very much fits into the description of the Eli Mountain in the poem.
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’.
