Abstract

This research article delves into the dualistic nature of vernacular and cosmopolitan elements in the epic poem Padmavat by Sufi saint Malik Muhammad Jayasi. Written in Awadhi in 1540, this work exemplifies a unique blend of local and global influences, reflecting both regional culture and broader cultural interactions. By examining how Padmavat incorporates vernacular elements alongside cosmopolitan themes, this study highlights the poem’s broad appeal and its ability to transcend cultural and linguistic boundaries.

Key Word– Vernacular, Cosmopolitan, Padmavat , Malik Mohammad Jayasi
