Shyamasree Kisku
The magazine that publishes children’s poem, rhymes, stories etc. is called children’s magazine. Most of the writing in these magazines is educational, entertaining. The language of these magazines is very simple and simple. I have used many books on Sanskrit children literature while doing this work, like-Pañcatantra, Hitapadeśa, Śukasaptatikathā, Sambhāṣaṇasandeśa Betālpañcabiṃśati, Siṃhāsana-dvātriḥsikā. After Pañcatantra and Hitapadeśa etc. The world of Sanskrit children’s literature went into decline for a long time. From September 1994, a magazine named Sambhāṣaṇasandeśa with a compilation of several stories was published from Karnataka under the initiative of Pandit Janardan Hegde. The purpose of this magazine was to entertain children as well provide education in treatise. The purpose of this research work is to explore the hidden treasure of Sanskrit in children literature in front of the world, analysis it’s literary excellence and establish how far this creation could be considered and compared being Children literature in world’s literary parameter. This research work is mainly based on the secondary resources beside the original texts. A comparative and literary analysis with the ancient to modern will be made according to aesthetic purview. Such the language used here is universal. So everyone enjoys reading the stories here.
