Critical Appreciation of Prahasanas - Part 17
We move on to the next work, Hāsya-cūḍā-maṇi
Introduction
Hāsya-cūḍā-maṇi is a śuddha-prahasana consisting of two acts. In general prahasanas rarely go beyond one act. The title of the prahasana neither hints anything about the plot like Mattavilāsa nor it is a combination of the characters like Bhagavad-ajjukam. The title just reflects the confidence of the author when he declares it as the crest-jewel of humour.
