2.  T.P kailasam (1884-1946) was a
drametist,poet and short story writer in
kannada and english.
 His popular play are :
Fulfillment
The Purpose
The Burden
The Karna
The Keechaka

3.  The Purpose was divided in to two act.
 The central idea is that the aim of the
learning archery.
 Central theme:based on Adiparva of the
Mahabharata.
 Central characters:
Eklavya
Drona
Arjuna

4.  He was the
protogonist of the
play ‘Purpose’.
 He was young prince
of Nishada.
 He becomes tragic
hero of this play
 In the Mahabharata
Eklavya was the son
of Hiranydhanus.

5.  Who was king of Jarasandha’s
armycommander and leader of the Nishadhas
from Dronacharya.
 A confederation of jungle tribes in ancient
India.
 Eklavya purpose is to save animals and
nature.
 When Eklavya enter in to the Ashram he
expresses his felling with these words.

6.  (looking all around him)This does look like
the place mother spoke of: “A wide vast
grassy play ground with bejeweled and
beautifully dressed handsome young princes
at bow sword and mace exercises…being
taught their lessons by a tall and noble
looking Brahamana”is how she described it!
And it all fits in every bit!
 End of the play Eklavya was whimpering the
following lines hopelessly to him self:

7.  “FORGIVE ME GURUJI I DID NOT
KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING BUT
YET,HOW COULD YOU! HOW
COULD YOU I HOW COULD YOU!”

8.  Eklavya was the
best Archer, and
he also wants to
be become the
best archer in the
world.

9.  Eklavya was self
learner,he made
idol of Drona and
learn his own
self.

10.  Tragedy aries when
guru Drona refuses
him to teach, he
takes Guru Daxina.
 Because Drona had
promises to
arjun,that he would
make him the
gretest archer in
world.

11.  We can say that here in the play Kailasam
tried to give justice to Eklavya character
which is not there is in original myth, here he
tries to destroy or break the real myth of
Mahabharata.
