It may be identified with the northern Kāśmir. This part surrounding Huskapura or Uskar may represent the Huhūka of Rājaśekhara and presumably this may represents the part of Kaśmir which is otherwise omitted in the list of north Indian countries to the Rājaśekhara’s Kāvyamīmāṃsā.
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.
