கம்பரின் காப்பியமரபில் கதையாக்க உத்திமுறைமை : ஓர் ஆய்வியல் நோக்கு.

Abstract

Kambaramayanam is notable among Tamil Kappiyams. In his literary contribution and narrative technique, Kambar has adopted the copy tradition and employed unique modes of presentation. In particular, he has set the sub-stories as the statements of the characters and the events that happen objectively according to the nature of the story listeners. Therefore, this review examines how the Kambaramayana has become a re-enactment fiction and suitable for the theatrical genre over time.
