Book I deals with the great epics of India – the Ramayana and the Mahabharata as well as the Puranas and the Tantras; Book II with Kavya and its varieties; Book III and IV with the narrative, prose and Campu respectively; Book V with the dramatic literature and Book VI with Alankara, Sangita, Kama and Chandas literature. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe work is full of references; the footnotes refer to a variety of sources, legendary, inscriptional numismatics, architectural and literary. The writer has consulted several journals, catalogues, annals, reports and other documents in discussing the vexed problems of the date, place, genealogy of the authors and the literary tendencies of their compositions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis methodology of literary criticism is rationalistic and bears the stamps of the modern scientific age.
