Q. Who is the writer of Gatha Saptasati?
Answer: Hala
Notes: The Gatha Saptashati is one of the oldest texts in the Subhashit-style. It deals with feelings of love and is referred to as the "opposite intensity" of the Kama Sutra. While the Kama Sutra is a theoretical work on love and Gaha Sattasai is a practical compilation of examples illustrating the "unholy reality of life" where seduction principles do not work, making love complex and emotionally exciting. Feels imperfect. It states in one verse that Radha and Krishna are the hero and heroine respectively.
