Vangmaya is a combination of vak + maya which means eloquent, rhetoric, speech and literature. Vedic Vangmaya includes Shabd Shashtra, Kosha (Etymology), Metres, Astronomy, Philology, Philosophy, Smriti,Vedas, Upanishadas, Ayurveda, etc.  \nKavya includes written as well as oral literature. We shall deal with Kavya and Indian poeticsin detail explaining its meaning and definition. In this unit, the elements of poetries will be discussed and explained in brief. The word „Sahitya ‟, means to put together. It represents the notion of literature in written form or in speech. Practically, Kavya is synonyms of Sahitya. The word Vangmaya refers to everything made of language. We shall define “Sahitya” and explain its characteristics. Finally, we shall deal with Kavya- Bheda-types of genres of literary compositions.  \nIntroduction  \nVangmaya refers to speech, sound or utterance. Vangmaya is combination of two Vak + Maya. Vak means speech and “maya” means “made of” or “related to”. Thus Vangamaya is a verbal discourse. It is a concept that refers to all literature including oral compositions also. There is a very close connection between mind and speech. Speech is established in mind Chhandogya Upanishada says,“without speech, who could explain right and wrong, good, evil, pleasant, unpleasant? Speech explains all”.  \nSpeech is musical too, which resounds brahma. That is the reason why AUM is Shabdabrahma. All Vangmaya is a statement as reality creation and object of knowledge. Vangamaya can be Apauruseya or Pauruseya. Sruti, Smrti and Kavya are based on their origin. Sruti is what is heard. Smriti literally means what is recalled or remembered. Kavya deals with themes, events and ideas. Epics, Puranas, narrative poems and prose narratives are the part ofVangamaya. In short Vangamaya is literature mainly in written form.  \nThe word “Sahitya” is derived from “Sahitau”(together) . It means to put together in sense of composition, co-ordination, balance, concord and contact. It is now used to cover all forms of literature (Vangamaya) . It includes grammar philosophy, logic, etymology and technical subjects like law, medicine, science, etc. In Indian tradition, Sahitya is defined in „the Indian epigraphical glossary‟ as it can be found on ancient inspiration generally written in Sanskrit, Prakrit and Dravidian languages. The word “Sahitya” refers to tools, materials, apparatus, furniture, gear, etc. It also relates to fellowship connection and companionship.  \nIn English, the word “literature” is derived from latin root “littera”. In latin, littera means alphabets. It is a written material. Presently, literature is defined as expression of human thoughts, feelings in terms of truth and beauty. It is now related to creative writing. Language is used in multiple ways and literature is one of these ways. The major elements that differentiate literature from the other writings are fictionality, speech use of language, ambiguity and aesthetic pleasure.  \nThe history of Indian Poetics begins with Bharata‟s „Natyasastra‟. In chapter-16 of the Natyashashtra, Bharata lists thirty six features of Kavya. He calls them Kavya Vibhushanam, the embellishments of Kavya which produce “Rasa”. There are two main categories of Vangamaya are Shastra and Kavya. Shashtra includes Veda, Vedang, Purana, Logic, Mimansa, Dharmashashtra, Kavyavidya and Kamashashtra.  \nAccording to Bhamaha, the benefits of Kavya are acquisition of fame for the poet and the aesthetic delight for the Bhavak (reader) . He defines Kavya as the beautiful and harmonious combination of word (Shabd) and Sense (Artha) . Mammata in “Kavya Prakasha” says“Poetry is combination of word and sense which is faultless, full of excellence and contains some distinct figures of speech (Alamkars) .  \nKavya Bheda refers to different genres ofKavya (literary wor","cbCaiebNrdYtniQg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiebNrdYtniQg","pdf",570954,"English","# Objectives\n## Introduction\n## Vangamaya-Definition and Meaning\n## Vangamay, Kavya, Kavi\n## Kavyashastra and Sahitya-vidya","[{\"question\":\"What does Vangmaya mean and what does it include?\",\"answer\":\"Vangmaya means verbal discourse, formed from vak (speech) and maya (“made of/full of”).
