thumb | right The Anargharāghava (Devanagari: ; English: Priceless (anargha) Rama (rāghava)) is a dramatised retelling of the Ramayana, and is a piece of classical Sanskrit poetry. It is the only surviving work by '''''', a Brahmin court poet, who lived some time between the 8th and 10th century CE, perhaps in Orissa or in neighbouring South India.
Because of its elegant style, learned allusions and often striking imagery, the poem has been a favourite among pandits , although it received little attention in the West until recently. The epic story of Rama’s exploits is presented as a series of political intrigues and battles, and contrasted with lyrical passages of various kinds: on love and war, pride and honor, gods and demons, rites and myths, regions and cities of ancient India.
