Prakarana is a second class of Rupaka or dramatic composition, which agrees in all respects with the Nataka. The difference of Prakarana with Rupaka is that it takes a rather less elevated range.

The fable in Prakarana is to be a pure fiction drawn from society, and the most suitable subject is love. The hero may be of ministerial rank, or a Brahman, or a merchant of respectability. The heroine may be a mad of family or a courtesan. In the former case the prakarana is termed Suddha, or pure and in the latter Sankirna, or mixed.
