Narrative Techniques in Sanskrit Literature

Authors(1) :-Prof. Radhakant Thakur

Story telling strategy is narrative technique. . In order to communicate our noble thought we need to shape it into sequence.A poet uses a technique to choose the sweet words and arrange them very beautifully in sequence for capturing the mind and heart of readers. A poet cannot achieve any goal without this technique of arrangement of words. Poet displays spontaneously his ideas and emotions through narration and so narration is overflow of powerful feelings and emotions. It depends on poet who is a creator of literary world what technique he adopts and so he may leave readers to laugh or weep on any fictional or real event. The technique of narrative is called the process of telling story. Poets use same words what we use but they weave them in a unique way and catch the readers. Although Panchatantra and kathasarit sagar were available in Sanskrit literature but Bana Bhasha Kalidasa and many others contributed to Sanskrit with their narrative and changed the trend.
