“धातर्मेरुमहीध्रलङ्घनधिया विन्ध्याद्रिणा सर्वतो
व्याप्तं व्योमतलं दिवेति च निशेत्यस्तं प्रतीतिर्गता”।

प्रातः पश्चिमपर्वते दिनमणिः पूर्वाचले चन्द्रमाः”॥[1]
“O Creator, ambitious to surpass the divine mount Meru, this wretched Vindhya is growing taller by the second, eclipsing the entire sky. We have lost the distinction between day and night.” When a messenger...
‘ಸಭಾಪರ್ವ’ದಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಮಾರವ್ಯಾಸ ಎರಡು ಸಭಾಭವನಗಳನ್ನು ಪರಿಚಯಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಎರಡೂ ಭವನಗಳು ನಿರ್ದಿಷ್ಟ ಕಾಲಘಟ್ಟವೊಂದರಲ್ಲಿ, ಭಾರತದಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸ್ತು ಕಲೆಯು ಸಾಧಿಸಿದ್ದ ಔನ್ನತ್ಯದ ಪ್ರತೀಕಗಳೆನ್ನಬಹುದು. ಮೊದಲನೆಯ ಸಭಾಭವನ, ಧರ್ಮರಾಯನ ಇಂದ್ರಪ್ರಸ್ಥದಲ್ಲಿ ದೇವಶಿಲ್ಪಿ ಮಯನಿಂದ ನಿರ್ಮಿತವಾದದ್ದು. ಈ ಸಭಾಭವನನಿರ್ಮಾಣದ ಉದ್ದೇಶ ರಾಜಸೂಯಯಾಗವನ್ನಾಚರಿಸುವ ಧಾರ್ಮಿಕ, ಸಾತ್ತ್ವಿಕ ಉದ್ದೇಶ. ಸಹಸ್ರಾರು ರಾಜರು, ಋಷಿಗಳು, ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣರು ಮತ್ತು ಸಮಾಜದ ಉಳಿದ ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ಸೇರಿ, ವೇದಗೋಷ್ಠಿ, ವಿದ್ವತ್ಗೋಷ್ಠಿ ಮುಂತಾದ ಅನೇಕ ಸಾಂಸ್ಕೃತಿಕ ಆಧ್ಯಾತ್ಮಿಕ...
