 Hoon-Parajayam drama is written by famous, learned Sanskrit Scholar Dr. Shiv Prasad Bhardwaj.  The drama is ahistorical Sanskrit Drama. There are three acts in the drama. Each act has three scenes.

 The drama is based on historical incidents of Malv King Yashodharma winning over Hoon Kings Torman and Mihir Kul with the help of Magdh King Narsingh Gupt Baladitya.

     The drama starts by praising of Ganga, Yamuna, great human beings as Ram, Krishna, Gautam, Mahaveer etc.

 There are 22 Male characters and lesser female characters.

 The dram revolves around the strong character of Yashodharma.

 The language is simple an dialogues are small. The juncture of divisions and raptures are marvelous.

 The specialty of drama ‘Hoon Parajayam’ is that the dramatist uses new style along with old classical Sanskrit drama style. The fusions of two styles make drama more interesting. He uses songs instead of Shlokas. The dialogues fit with each character.

 The Chivalry rapture dominates the drama but there is ample scope for raptures as Love, Pathos. The dramatist uses fewer dramatizations and uses more characterization.

 The critics  praise Playwright Bhardwaj for using his elegant new style into Sanskrit Drama.
