Know More about the Course
Shishupalavadham is one of the five Mahakavyas of Sanskrit Literature. It was composed by the great poet Magha, who is famed for possessing, in equal measure, the faculties for upama (simile), arthagaurava (depth of meaning) and padalalitya (graceful words) – This is conveyed by the saying “माघे सन्ति त्रयो गुणाः”। Shishupalavadham has 20 cantos. It is said that, having studied the first nine cantos of this kavya, one will not find any new words in entire Sanskrit. “नवसर्गगते माघे नवशब्दो न विद्यते”।
First sarga of Shishupalavadham has been prescribed for the first year Shastri examination of National Sanskrit University, Tirupati. This sarga, with 75 shlokas, describes the meeting of Narada and Krishna at Dvaraka, where Narada reminds Krishna of the atrocities wrought by Shishupala and conveys the request of Indra to destroy him. At the same time, a messenger arrives from Indraprastha with Yudhishthira’s message requesting Krishna’s presence at the proposed Rajasuya Yajna.
