Sri Rukminisha Vijaya (IAST:Rukmiṇīśavijaya; lit. 'The Story of the triumph of Lord of Rukmini'), is an important work of Sanskrit literature, containing 19 cantos and 1,240 verses in various metres. In terms of style the text is written in the most charming Vaidarbhi style.[1][2] The author of the work is the most celebrated Dvaita saint Vadiraja Tirtha.[2]
Rukminisha Vijaya is a mahakavya, clothed in the gorgeous apparel of the kāvya style that narrates the life of Krishna from boyhood and ending with his marriage with Rukmini. The book highlights the story of Lord Sri Krishna, as described in the 10th canto of the Bhagavata Purana.[3][4][5]
Quoting on the style of the work, Indologist B. N. Krishnamurti Sharma writes, "The descriptions are effective and natural. The style is deeply alliterative. Sense and sound match well and the imagery is fine and lofty".[2]
