by Dilip Kumar Goswami | 1997 | 31,244 words

Summary: This essay studies the literary aspects of the Kalikapurana, a vital Sanskrit text rich in social, philosophical, and historical content. While previous studies focused on socio-cultural dimensions, this work aims to evaluate the Kalika-purana鈥檚 literary merits through various thematic chapters, addressing areas like Rasas and Chandas.

The Kalikapurana is commonly spelled as: Kalikapur膩峁嘺 (啶曕げ啶苦啶啶班ぞ啶�), Kalika-pur膩峁嘺 (啶曕げ啶苦-啶啶班ぞ啶�).
