Kavya (poetry)
Source: Wisdom Library: KathāsaritsāgaraŚivavarman (शिववर्मन्) is the name of a minister of King Ādityavarman, who reigned long ago, according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 5. Accordingly, Śivavarman was sent to Bhogavarman (a neighbouring chief) who had received orders to put him to death, after the King suspected Śivavarman of treason.
The Kathāsaritsāgara (‘ocean of streams of story’), mentioning Śivavarman, 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’.
