The form Kambar has perfected in The Mother Supreme is a result of an integration of three independent discourses drama, narration and poetry. It embodies a dialogic structure and a dramatic conflict, employs narrative and descriptive devices and exploits the suggestive potential of poetic language which operates simultaneously on multiple levels. It is the creation of a rare artist who combines in himself all the three roles - dramatist. poet and novelist effectively. The tone and movement of the play are marked by a similar diversity. They range from the irreverently comic as in the scenes involving the court jester to the deeply tragic as in the last scene of the play. It has an amazing range of symbols drawn from various sources and for its sheer visual and imaginative power it has few parallels in the whole range of contemporary Kannada or for that matter Indian drama.
