Kavya (poetry)
Source: archive.org: Naisadhacarita of SriharsaKārīrī (कारीरी) refers to a Vedic rite performed to bring rain, and is mentioned in the Naiṣadha-carita 18.6 and 21.37. The rite is called Kārīrī, because flour made from a plant named Karīra is mixed with honey and used in making balls (piṇḍī) for the purpose of oblations. A characteristic feature of the rite is that the sacrificer puts on black clothing, a symbol of the colour of the rain clouds. The Maruts are addressed as follows:—“ramayata marutaḥ śyenamāyinaṃ manojavasaṃ vṛṣa?? suvṛktim”. The flour is mixed with honey by addressing the waters, of which eleven names are recorded. See Taittirīyasaṃhitā (Ānandāśrama edition) 2.4.7ff and Sāyaṇa thereon. As regards Karīra, Sāyaṇa describes it as the sprout of a creeper resembling the Soma plant. In another place (1.8.3) he says that according to some, it is the fruit of the date palm. The usual meaning of the word is “bamboo-shoot”. Cf. Naiṣadha 5.14; 9.12; Māgha 4.14 (vaṃśakarīranīlaiḥ).
Kārīrī is called Meghavṛṣṭi by Hemacandra in Dvyāśraya-kāvya 8.105.
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’.
