In this issue, we have an article in English titled Review of Anuprasa:
Prakrit Poetry vis-à-vis Sanskrit Poetics by Mr. Harshit Mishra. Mr. Mishra
is a Research Associate at ISJS.
The article argues that variations in the rules of specific grammatical
phenomena in Sanskrit and Prakrit make it desirable to extend the
characteristics of Indian poetics, such as figures of speech, e.g., anuprasa
(alliteration).
