Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 ,like the sutra and the smasa . Probably as set-off against the prolixities and wild exaggerations of our peculiar literature ,we have these elliptical ,mnemonic literary forms from which every unnecessary word is removed . In the Sahasranama the poet has to express his religious feelings and his philosophy of life ,as well as his theological beliefs ,through the names he coins for his deity . He has no rooms here for the elaboration of his subject ,not even for logical connection between one statement and another .Topics have to be huddled together like the words in a samasa ,without any connecting links .And , in a Sahasranama ,when samasa themselves are huddled together without even a conjunction , the resulting structure is like a building in which walls are formed by neatly chiseled stones being placed one above the other without any mortar or cement between them .
