Online Published on 13 March, 2024. Abstract Sanskrit language has the liquidity as many compositions are being composed until date. It is observed that the modern composers sometimes follow the characteristics of Mahākāvyaas elaborated by Sahityashastrakara’s like Bhāmaha, Daṇḍī, Rudraṭa, Viśvanātha etc. Sometimes, some Poets have taken the liberty to present modern Hero’s and their heroic acts while composing the Mahākāvya. Poetic expressions of powerful feelings play an important role to inculcate values, ethics, and virtues. Literature, in the form of poems, stories, articles, essays etc. definitely stand like lighthouse in our life. The paper highlights the ‘Wings of Fire’, an Autobiography of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalām written with Arun Tiwari in 1999. The paper aims to study the adaptation by Pt. Sri. Kishor Limaye who composed the same text and the ‘Agnisambhavam’ Mahākāvya using very simple, yet effective Sanskrit and modern methodologies. Using an ancient tool of composing Mahākāvya with modern techniques like using research methodologies (footnotes, endnotes, RoL etc.) is a pioneering and emerging trend in Sanskrit. This paper is an attempt to focus on ‘Agnisambhavam’ Sanskrit Mahākāvya, composed by Pt. Sri. Kishor Limaye.
