In Hinduism
Kavya (poetry)
Source: Wisdom Library: KathāsaritsāgaraKamalodaya (कमलोदय) is the name of a Brāhman from Ujjayinī, according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 69. Accordingly, as the Muni Vijitāsu said to Puṣkarākṣa: “... she [Lāvaṇyamañjarī] once saw a Brāhman youth of the name of Kamalodaya, and her mind was suddenly attracted to him, and she was consumed with the fire of love, but she did not abandon her vow”.
The story of Kamalodaya was narrated by Vijitāsu in order to demonstrate that “a creature receives the form of that which it was contemplating at the moment of death”.
The Kathāsaritsāgara (‘ocean of streams of story’), mentioning Kamalodaya, 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’.
