write a note on Shankardeva's art of characterization with special reference to his Parijata harana.
Answers
Explanation:
Parijat is also known in India as Harsingar, or the ornament of The Gods. It is therefore the only flower that can be offered to the Gods after picking it up from the ground. The flower is said to also help one remember one's past lives and incarnations.
Answer:
he Parijata Harana is an Ankiya Nat written by the prolific writer Sankardeva. The Sanskrit term Anka denotes an one act play. Ankiya Nats are usually performed at night, during winters or on religious occasions. Female roles are played by males. The Parijata Harana was written towards the end of Sankardeva's life. The play retells two stories adapted from the Bhagavata and the Vishnu Purana.
Then Krishna and Satyabhama go to meet Lord Indra and his wife Shachi. The Parijata tree, which is planted on the entrance catches the eyes of the guests. After greeting the Gods and returning back all the items to their rightful owners, Krishna returns back to his palace along with Satyabhama and Narada. Furious Satyabhama criticizes her husband and his games, as he forgets to fetch her the Parijata tree. Apologizing Shri Krishna asks Narada to fetch the tree for his dear wife Satyabhama.
As soon as Shachi comes to know about this, she fumes with rage and tells Narada to inform Satyabhama that only a Goddess, residing in Amravati can have the fortune of wearing it. She even questions the audacity of mortal Satyabhama to yearn for the heavenly flower. Narada returns back to Dvaraka and expresses everything that Shachi had said to him. Hearing this, Satyabhama requets Krishna to fetch the tree right away for her.
