Question

prashastis may not be literally true give reason

Answer 1

prashashtis are long poems which were composed in praise of kings.

They were composed by learned Brahmanas.

These Brahmanas were court poets who were appointed by the king himself.

These poems tell us how rulers wanted to show themselves as valiant, victorious warriors.

These poems contain details that may not be literally true.

The poems may not always be factually accurate since the poets are appointed by the king himself.

The reason as to why they are not authentic is because :

1.) The poets are appointed by the king himself thus they may be biased in giving the achievements and the traits of the king in the process of praising him.

2.) The details of of these poems may not be literally true.
