Dr. Madhuresan wrote:
Let us work with the extant texts, I do not see a big problem
in composing them all over India over a period of
13 centuries. Didn't mahakavis have power to compose 1000s
of songs overnite? Just the volume of texts may not necessarily
lead to this conclusion.
Vishal writes:
What makes you think that all this was achieved in 3 centuries?
How do you say so? What is the probability? The rhetorical retort on
the Mahakavis is therefore worthless here and does not amount to much.
Misrepresentation using rhetorics!
I do not think Dr. Madhuresan is committed to the thought that
"all this was achieved in 3 centuries".
