Source: Shodhganga: Mālatīmādhava of BhavabhūtiUttararāmacarita (उत्तररामचरित) is a literary work written by Bhavabhūti.—The Uttararāmacarita is Bhavabhūti’s third play. In the Uttararāmacarita, Bhavabhūti is found at his best. It is said uttare rāmacarite bhavabhūtirviśiṣyate. Here, Bhavabhūti describes himself as śabdabrahmavidaḥ kaveḥ pariṇataprājňasya vāṇīmimām. The Uttararāmacarita consists of seven acts. It is the poet’s master piece. This drama describes the story of the Uttarakāṇḍa of Rāmāyaṇa that is abandonment of Sitā, her residence at the hermitage of Vālmīki, the birth of Kuśa and Lava and the union of Rāma and Sitā at last. Here, the predominant sentiment is Karuṇa. In this drama Bhavabhūti holds a high place by the expression of genuine pathos in the world of literature.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
