A cut differs from a 71% in that in the former the plot is not adopted from any celebrated historical event, but is purely imaginary or conceived by the poet ( Bataaf ).
It is not a rigid rule, however, that in 9cut the plot must be throughly an independent and a new one. The only thing that is most essential is that the plot must not be wholly historical; at least the main plot must be either purely imaginary or taken from works of pure fiction such as referre and others. Sometimes, however in a stop the plot is taken and enlarged or developed from the works of ancient poets. At any rate the plot in a प्रकरण must not be taken from any पुराण,
In almost all other respects a प्रकरण resembles a नाटक.
As a rule, the lives of Brahmins, merchants, ministers, and priests are painted in a प्रकरण. नोदात्तनायककृतम् etc. in a to the hero, of course, must be not a king of a heavenly being. The paraphernalia of a king or his luxurious life must not be delineated in a 4 TOT (T HA: ) DIETFÉNYT: a 9 TOT should have characters of low persons or servants other than the servants in a royal harem.
