ABSTRACT
The Ramayana and the Mahabhata written in Sanskrit are considered to be the standard texts in India. During the medieval period, poets have composed these two epics in regional languages incorporating their social elements. The epic composition is the representation of the time and space of the poet’s socio-cultural context. Sarala Das has created an epic with the aesthetic standard by applying the linguistic resources people use in his historical context. An oral poet’s work transforming into a written one is a work of ethnopoetics instead of the classic or hegemonic writings that were not universal to the masses. There is always a general aesthetic organization to the story that connects the story to the culturally embedded understandings of the logic of activities and experiences. The transition of the era from Dwapara to Kali has been narrated in a story by poet Sarala Das.
