Summary
Segments in Śıśupālavadha Rhetoricians like Bhamaha, Dandin, Rudrata, Anandava dhana and Visvapātha have very clearly stated that a Mahakavya should also possess the five segments like a drama. For the composition of these five segments in a drama or a
Mahakavya, the careful planning of the principal (Adhikarika) and subsidiary (Prasangika) plot, five Arthaprakrtis, five Karyavasthās and some of the limbs of segments is necessary. Due to this very rule, we get the five segments and a number of their limbs in many Sankrit Mahakavyas,
Magha has very beautifully arranged five segments and ther 48 limbs in his Sisupalavadha In the presant article, an attempt is made to show the five Arthaprakstis (Elements of the plot), five karyavasthas (stages of the Action) and five sandhis (segments) in Sisupalavadha The inclusion of all of them in the said Mabakāvya is as under
