Kavya (poetry)
Source: archive.org: Naisadhacarita of SriharsaDohalikā (दोहलिका) refers to a “nurse”, according to Malli. Compare Dauhadika (“gardener” or “fertiliser”) as mentioned in the Naiṣadha-carita 6.61 (cf. 21.153). [...] Malli alone reads “dohalikopanītā” and explains dohalikā as “nurse”, but his reading is corrupt and not supported by the other commentaries.
Kavya (काव्य, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetry’ and natya, or ‘dramatic poetry’.

C., 1908-09, p. 53); cf. dohalikā dattā. See dohalikā-bhūmi. Note: ḍohalikā is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
