Summary of Banabhatta
Banabhatta (Hindi Ba? Abha?? a or Bana, Hindi Bana; 7th century) is an ancient Indian Sanskrit poet. He was “Asthana Kavi” (court poet) in the court of King Harsavadhana, who reigned from approx. 606 to 647 years in Northern India.
The main work of Bana includes the biography of Harshi – Harscharita, one of the earliest novels in the world and Kadambari (the name of the heroine of the novel). Both novels are a sample of the exquisite Sanskrit style. Bana died without having completed the novel, and he was completed by his son Bhu? a? abhatta, which is known as the Uttarabhaga of the novel. Other works attributed to him – Ca?? ikasataka and the drama Parvatipari? aya.
Bana is one of the classics of Sanskrit literature. Bana lived in the first half of the 12th century in Kanozha, where the great Sri Garsa Siladity reigned. Rewarded with honors by this ruler, who loved to patronize scholars and writers, Bana wrote the story of his reign, actually a panegyric, under the title “Garsha Charita,” as rich in rhetorical figures as the poor historical data. The same character is also used by Kadambari, a novel in prose, whose final processing belongs, in fact, to Bana’s son, Chandisataka, a collection of about a hundred stanzas in honor of the goddess Chandi (one of the synonyms Durga). Of the dramas attributed to Bana, “Mu-kuma-Shadita” was lost and did not reach us, the other “Wedding of Parvati” seems to be of somewhat doubtful origin. According to the Indian legend,
