If you guys want to keep pushing this POV, be my guest: we'll keep debating this. A literature from which not only no fragment or wisp of fragment has survived today, but also no fragment or wisp of fragment had survived in 850 AD, a literature from which not a single quote can be found in any later author writing during the period 850 to 1400 AD, is not called pre-classical literature. Indeed it is not even called literature. It is a dead and gone might have been. Consider the 90,000 verses of Chudamani. Do you really believe that not a single verse of this remarkable body of work would have survived in a culture that had a longstanding tradition of oral transmission and of great fidelity?
