abstract:
The paper explores how the figure of Rāma and his story are variously interpreted in the works of the poet Keśavdās, according to the new philosophical, religious and cultural claims of 17th century Mughal India. It will highlight the peculiarities of such vernacular adaptations in the aesthetics of court poetry.
