| Abstract: | It is often held that India had no tradition of political criticism taking the king and his actions to task. What she was used to were the innumerable panegyrics starting from hero-lauds such as the gāthā-nāraśamsis in the Vedic literature and the araśar-vā˝ttus of early Tamil songs and developing through the praśastis in the medieval period. |
