What are prashastis? Why are they not always authentic?
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 4 years, 4 months ago

Prashashtis are long poems which were composed in praise of kings. They were composed by scholars Brahmins.
These Brahmin Darbari poets were appointed by the King himself.
These poems show how the ruler wanted to show himself a brave, victorious warrior.

Prashashtis was not considered a reliable source of information by historians because;  

  • The poets themselves are appointed by the King, thus they may be biased in the process of the king's achievements and praise.
  • Secondly, the description of these poems cannot be literally true.
