In which type of poetry texts do we get description of greatness of a king, his victories, wars, valour?
Raso
रासो
According to Motilal Menaria, "A poetic work that contains a detailed account of a king's renown, victories, battles, valor,
etc., is termed a 'Raso'." An example of this is the 'Ratan Raso' by Kumbhakarna. In Rajasthan, 'Raso' literature emerged
in the 11th century.
रासो - मोतीलाल मेनारिया के अनुसार, "जिस काव्य ग्रंथ में किसी राजा की कीर्ति, विजय, युद्ध, वीरता आदि का विस्तृत वर्णन हो, उसे रासो कहते
हैं।" उदाहरणार्थ - कुम्भकर्ण का 'रतन रासो'। राजस्थान में रासो साहित्य की शुरुआत 11वीं सदी में हुई।
