Samaysya-purti Information & Samaysya-purti Links at HealthHaven.com

Samaysya-purti (literally satisfaction of a problem) is a class of Indian literature, specially popular in Sanskrit, but also known in other languages^[1].

In Samasya-purti, the problem is posed by providing part of a metrical composition. The challenge is to compose the rest of the composition^[2].

Some scholars have taken the lst line of each verse of Kalidasa's Meghadutam as the samasya, and have composed the rest^[3].
