The Saiva Kavyas- the Haracaritacintamani of Jayadratha, the Bhiksatana of Utpreksavallabha, the Sivalilarnava of Nilakantha Diksita & the Natesavijaya of Venkatakrsna Diksita have been recognised as works of poetic literary merit by indologists, scholars and historians like M. Winternitz. S.N. Das Gupta & S.K. De, Vacaspati Garola, Baldev Upadhyaya, M.A. Stein etc.; but these kavyas could not pave a path of fame and popularity. As such no work had been done so far and a multidimensional study of these kavyas can be a source of inspiration for scholars and researchers to plunge deep into the texts full of hidden treasure of precious gems of literary poetic beauty and embellishments.

To facilitate the study of these kavyas, the original sanskrit text along with a. detailed and comperhensive introduction about the date, works, erudition of the author and general appraisal, critical appreciation & evaluation of the kavya has been done. It has been divided in 2 volumes. The 1st volume comprises of the critical and analytical study of the Haracaritacintamani of Jayadratha and the Bhiksatana of Utpreksavallabha along with original text of both the kavyas. The 2nd volume deals with the Sivalilarnava of Nilakantha Diksita and the Natesavijaya of Venkatakrsna Diksita along with their original texts.
