Mahapraan / महाप्राण

Even in the first half of the 20s, some epics were written, but by the time of Jaishankar Prasad's 'Kamayani', the tradition came to an end. The novel took away almost everything of the epic, but the sentiment was still left, and by incorporating this feel, the Mahapraana invented a new style of poetry which had a full esense of epic feeling but limited description. Now the variety and completeness of the sentiment were put aside, but its intensity and depth increased, which the novel could never have. In such a intense feeling, Mahapraan Niraala wrote many long poetries which are still a benchmark of literature.
