The Sanskrit "Mahakavya" (epic poem), "Haranamamritam" may appear at first glance to be a biography of his grandfather Harnamdutt Shastri, however, the primary purpose is to inspire its readers to devote themselves to improve the world. In the other "Mahakavya", "Vishwamanaviyam" the poet addresses the impact of modernisation and the 1969 moon landing. "Vikramabhinnadanam" illustrates the cultural traditions during the rule of Chandragupta Vikramaditya and memorialises Shankracharya, Rani Padmvati, Rana Pratap, Guru Govind Singh, Shivaji and others continuing these traditions. The "Vaichitraya Lahari" is an entreaty to the populace to a reflect on their unrestrained behaviour. Written in a humorous vein, the "Matta Lahari's" protagonist is a drunkard ("matta" in Sanskrit),who invites everyone to free themselves from the bonds of society and join him in the tavern. "Anand Mandakini" is complementary to the "Matta Lahari"; here the drunkard's companion exhorts him to garner some accomplishments as the time spent drinking will be irretrievable. "Himadri Mahatyam" was written in the year of the centennial celebration of Madan Mohan Malaviya and the Indo-China war of 1962; in the poem Madan Mohan Malaviya asks all Indians to defend the Himalaya. "Shakuntala Vigyanam" is a commentary on the Kalidasa play "Abhigyana Shakuntalam", in which the poet illustrates that the spirit of love permeates the work.
