In Hinduism
Kavya (poetry)
Source: archive.org: Naisadhacarita of SriharsaPratibandī (प्रतिबन्दी) or Prativandī refers to a “retort”, and is mentioned in the Naiṣadha-carita 9.17 (“prativandyanuttaraḥ”).—The messenger (Nala) had said that he could not tell his name as it was against the custom prevailing among the great to do so. Damayantī replied with a pratibandī that she, too, could not talk with him as it was against the custom prevalent among women of birth. See Notes. Nārāyaṇa uses the word pratibandī in his gloss on 20.124. Cf. Jinarāja in his gloss on 5.112. The word is variously spelt and not probably used anywhere else in Kāvya literature. It occurs in the following introductory verse of Śeṣānantācārya’s commentary on Śaśadhara’s Nyāyasiddhāntadīpa. The word is sometimes found in later philosophical treatises, e.g., in Veṅkaṭanātha’s Nyāyapariśuddhi.
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’.
