The treatment of camatkāra in Sanskrit poetics collects its essence from word (śabda) and meaning (artha). Distribution of supernatural curious delight (adbhutāmodaścamatkāraḥ) is the purpose. The terms like – non-mundane ānanda, āhlāda, vicchitti, vaicitrya, ramaṇīyatā, sadya-para-nirvṛti etc. synonyms are being used to mean camatkāra in the sphere of Indian Poetics. Kuntaka, Ānandavardhana, Viśvanātha, Jagannātha, Kśemendra, Viśveśvara, Hariprasāda etc. are the supporters of the concept of camatkāra. Derivative meaning of camatkāra is a matter of enjoyment. The term ‘epiphany’ (a moment of sudden and great revelation or realisation) may be used to represent camatkāra in English. Lāvaṇya of a young lady is camatkāra of poetry. There is no difference between Ānandavardhana and Kṣemendra. Without camatkāra, poetry is useless. So, poets must incorporate the application of camatkāra in poetry. Poets must be careful to this end and always search for new and new delightful words to enrich the standard of the poetry. The theory of camatkāra is much more significant than aucitya. Camatkāra was not elaborately discussed by the academicians. On the contrary, aucitya gained a huge scope to be consulted in the last few decades. Thus, a very pivotal theory of camatkāra was ignored. On the outskirts, it may be assumed that camatkāra is only a theory of poetics or literary criticism.
