Citranaiṣadham is a first-of-its-kind Sanskrit short poem (khaṇḍakāvya)—a picture-poem (citrakāvya) composed entirely in the zig-zag gomūtrikabandha pattern. The work in four cantos ‘paints’ the narrative of Nala and Damayantī’s romance and wedding from the Nalopākhyāna of the Mahābhārata. The hero and heroine, made to fall in love by a celestial swan, are united in matrimony despite the deities’ attempts to deceive them. The work is a fascinating example of constrained writing.

    शोभनीयं | अहं किञ्चित् किञ्चित् संस्कृतम् एव जानामि, अतः यत्र तत्र शब्दाः अवगतवान् | हिन्दीभाषायां आङ्ग्लभाषायां च अनुवादः अपि सम्यक् एव अस्ति | पठनान्तरं गौमूत्रिका चित्रकाव्य अस्ति एतत् जानित्वा बहु विस्मय भवति|
    Translation: Commendable I know little Sanskrit, hence could identify some words here and there. The Hindi and English translation is also good. After reading the book, when you come to know of the Gaumutrika Chitrakaavya used in the book, then you will surely be amazed.
