Abstract

Ayurveda narrates the concept of prakṛti as a framework to understand human behaviour. Prakṛti determines an individual’s physical, physiological, and mental disposition. The three doṣas,vāta, pitta, and kapha, form the basis of the body and mind. The dominance of one or two of these influences the physical and mental makeup of the individual. The lead characters of Kālidāsa’s dramas are studied and analyzed to understand the relevance of prakṛti in literary studies. The concept of prakṛti is helpful for writers to build their characters and in literary criticism. Hence, it should be taught to students of academic studies.

阿育吠陀经在文学研究中的意义,特别是对卡里达萨戏剧中主要人物的影响
阿育吠陀将 "prakṛti "的概念作为理解人类行为的框架。Prakṛti决定了一个人的身体、生理和精神状态。三个 "地藏"(vāta、pitta 和 kapha)构成了身体和精神的基础。其中一种或两种占主导地位,会影响个人的身体和精神构成。通过研究和分析卡利达萨(Kālidāsa)戏剧中的主角,我们可以了解 "prakṛti "在文学研究中的相关性。prakṛti的概念有助于作家塑造人物形象,也有助于文学批评。因此,应该向学术研究的学生传授这一概念。
