ABSTRACT
A poet gets proclaimed or celebrated when he imbibes the necessary elements of culture in his work and presents them contemporaneously, without considering the time and space and it reveals his visionary spirit. Among the thirteen plays ascribed to Bhasa, this paper takes up for discussion the cultural variants in the two plays  Urubhanga and Karnabhara and in which War is the prime theme which are the prominent two, among his thirteen plays. Since war itself is a conflict between two cultures, it is inevitable to adapt social deflections for the betterment of play. These deflections create new dimensions to the plot, characterization, dialogues and the overall atmosphere of the play. The social deflections in the plot increase the intensity of the play and help to create abundant, beautiful dramatic situations. The dialogues of the characters faithfully reflect the cultural life of the time.  Dhrtarashtra’s   and Gandhari’s dialogues touches on the feeling of parenthood and sense of honour of their son, apart from Royal dignity.  Bhasa marked the heroic qualities of a valiant, when he gives advice to Durjjaya. The same applies to development of characters as well. Poet explains the transfer of ideal things of culture to the next generation thorough Duryodhana and Karna.         While adopting a particular culture of a society in to the drama, it impacts the characters and dialogues of it. There arises a cultural recycling process, especially In Bhasa's plays.
