Classification of Poetry

Actually before starting with Bhoja we will notice the total varieties of uparūpakas amounting to 44 or 45, as recognised by all theorists. We feel that some uparūpakas are named slightly differently by this or that theorist, but actually the types may be identical. The result of our analysis may be roughly placed as under - But we may say that we will treat our theorists in their chronological order beginning with Bhoja as he is the first author who deals with this topic systematically and perhaps more seriously. After Bhoja, we will discuss only those forms which appear as new forms in later theorists. The result of our analysis roughly gives the following picture, which shows different art-forms discussed by different authorities or at least known to them.
