ABSTRACT There are so many ‘Kavyas’(epics),prose romances, ‘Drsyakavyas’(dramas), ‘Campukavyas’ in Sanskrit literature. These ‘Kavyas’ contain some beautiful stories, many philosophical thoughts, devotion, love, morality etc. Generally, there have no writing in Sanskrit literature that may consider as a text which contains humor. Vidyapati’s ‘Purusapariksa’ is exception of them. Though sometimes we find laughing sequences here and there in Sanskrit literature. In Sanskrit drama ‘Vidusaka’ is an important character that makes laughing situation in his talking, behavior, wearing etc. But, in today’s ‘modern Sanskrit literature, we find some great poets who In the every field of knowledge, create ‘hasyarasa’(humor).We can mention the name of twentieth century poet Tarapada Bhattacharya. His great creations among stories are ‘Gadadharavivahakatha’, ‘saivali’, ‘Cauranaradasamvadah’, ‘Maitreyi’, ‘Atha vejalakatha’, ‘Radha’etc. We get, ‘Pattakasthika’, ‘Atha bhejalakatha’, ‘Gadadharavivahakatha’, ‘Caura – naradasamvada’, ‘Madanena krtam’ etc. as comedy stories.
