abstract
The oldest book in the world is the Rigveda. Sanskrit literature originated from this Rigveda. Upanishads, Puranas, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Abhijnanasakuntalam, etc., the flow of Sanskrit literature continues to flow today. Ages have changed, thoughts have changed, Sanskrit literature has also changed with it. Sanskrit literature is not limited to mythology but has come closer to reality. Numerous modern Sanskrit literatures have been written beyond the known table. Modern Sanskrit literature has got short stories, novels etc. along with poetry and drama. In modern Sanskrit literature, reality has prevailed more than imagination.
