SOMETIMES, SOME EXPERIENCES REFUSE TO APPEAR IN THE RECOGNIZED FORMS; BUT THE URGE TO APPEAR COMPELS THEM TO COME OUT IN SOME AESTHETIC FORM, INNOVATIVE IN PRESENTATION, UNIQUE IN STYLE, EXCLUSIVE IN NATURE. THE WORK INCLUDED UNDER THIS TITLE NIMITTA" WHICH MEANS STIMULUS COMES UNDER THE ABOVE MENTIONED CRITERIA. THEY ALL BEAR THE SALIENT FEATURES OF VA PU"S WRITINGS. THEY HAVE CERTAINLY ADDED TO THE TREASURE OF MARATHI LITERATURE HIGHLIGHTING HIM AS A PROMINENT AUTHOR.
