There are different methods of teaching poetry in Sanskrit .However amongst all of them the anavay method is the important one. Anvay means to join the relationship between different words in a sentence. Here the words which are placed in poetical form are placed in simple prose order so as to covey the meaning of the verse easily. While doing so the grammatical structure is kept in mind. Such simple prose arrangements are done in Sanskrit only. Embellished poetical composition can be made easily comprehensible by anvya. It also includes use of simple words, synonyms in addition to the words used in poetical composition.
Merits of anvay method
· It makes the poetical form easy to understand.
· Sanskrit poetry is often laden with profuse use of figure of speech. Anvay helps to comprehend them.
· Since this method allows the use of simple words, synonyms, words other than the words used in the verse, the verse can be simplified for understanding without taking any liberty with syntactical and semantic aspects of the poetry.
· Anvay is done in Sanskrit thus it keeps evils caused due to translation away in teaching poetry.
· It enriches students’ language as they come across different synonyms , sentence construction etc
· It creates and sustains students’ interest and motivation in learning poetry
Demerits of anvay method
· Since the anvya is to be done in Sanskrit only, teachers need to be having competencies in the language. It may not be possible for all teachers to teach through anvay.
· It requires on the part of the teachers knowledge of grammar as well.
Teachers have to have vats vocabulary and knowledge of similar verbs so as to make anvay simple thereby facilitate in comprehension of meaning of poetry.
