RĀGHAVA-PĀNDAVĪYA. A modern poem by Kavi Rāja, which is in high repute. It is an artificial work, which exhibits extraordinary ingenuity in the employment of words. As its name implies, the poem celebrates the actions of Rāghava, i.e., Rāma, the descendant of Raghu, and also those of the Pāndava princes. It thus recounts at once in the same words the story of the Rāmāyana and that of the Mahā-bhārata; and the composition is so managed that the words may be understood as applying either to Rāma or the Pāndavas. It has been printed.
