Most of what has been passing in India for otherworldly literature and art is in reality the literature and art of human passions, human ideals, human interests and conflicts. To be more definite, it may be said that folk-life and sex-life have been the two chief *motifs* of a considerable portion of Indian literature and art. The medieval writings like the Rādhā-Kṛiṣṇa songs (*Padāvalī*) of Vidyāpati (c. 1450), the *Kavikaṅkaṇa-Chaṇḍī* (1589) etc. of Bengal ought to be approached as one approaches the literary creations of Eur-America with the methodology of modern art-criticism.
