Abstract
Sanskrit poetics contain many unique theoretical categories like rasa, dhvani, vakrokti, poetic atman, camatkara and guna. These categories are of a long history with genuine Indian nature and they are still holding implications for contemporary poetics and comparative studies. The paper singles out seven categories to demonstrate how connotative and unique ancient Indian literary theory, i.e. Alankarasastra or Sanskrit poetics could be.
