abstract
Devotional Composition is a major feature of modern Sanskrit Literature. The tradition of writing literature based on devotion has been going on since ancient times. Mokṣa is the main or ultimate goal of the four puruśārtha of Human life. The dramatists have shown through their works that devotion is one of the best path to ultimate salvation. But the path of salvation is very difficult. Dramatists sometimes portray this devotion through the biography of a great man, sometimes through a mythological phenomenon, sometimes by adopting the words of Gitā. However, in recent times, especially in the 19^th, 20^th and 21^st centuries, the extent of which has increased significantly. Some of such notable dramatists are: Śrījīva Nyāyatīrtha, Viśveśvara Vidyābhūṣaṇa, Jatindra Bimal Chaudhuri, Roma Chaudhuri, Virendra Kumar Bhattacharya, Nityananda Mukhopadhyay. The main purpose of this article is to light up on the devotional works of Nityananda Mukhopadhyay.
