Karpuramanjari is a Prakrit drama (Sattak) composed by the famous Sanskrit playwright and poetic poet Rajasekhar. This work has a special place in the pure literary works of Prakrit language. It has been said in Karpuramanjari – The drama composition which is similar in many things in the play is called sattaka. But it does not have entrances, poisons and numbers. According to Sahityadarpan, Sattak is composed in Prakrit language from beginning to end, and not like Sanskrit plays in which only some characters are composed in Prakrit language. It has the characteristic of wonderful rasa. The word Javanikantar is used for the number. In the rest of the matter, the plot is often like a drama. Both have the title after the heroine. Rajasekhara had extraordinary authority over Sanskrit and Prakrit languages. They were called Sarvabhanishanishan. The nature of Karpuramanjari is mature and Pranjal. Earlier it was said that its poetry is in Shaurseni Prakrit. But Dr. Manmohan Ghosh has proved this opinion invalid. In this, mainly Shaurseni is used only. In this, the poet has made mature and successful use of Sanskrit verses like Sragdhara, Shardulvikridit, Basanttilka etc. There are also Prakrit verses in it.
