A type of oral poetry patronized by ancient rulers to celebrate their victory, a triumph eulogy in its truest form was practiced during the time of the Aturyandakumi.
A Triumph Eulogy is characterized by several elements:
- uses meter and consonance
- Divided into three parts: First develops the foe, third narrates the ruler's victory over the foe, third openly praises the restraint and discipline of the ruler while indirectly praising him in other ways
- Avoids direct reference to the ruler until the third part or avoids it altogether.
- Uses quotes from subjects to praise ruler.
- lists the chief princes and principle subjects of the ruler and implies their happiness, prosperity, and acceptance of the ruler's dominion.
Native Kalaman scholars believe the Triumph Eulogy was developed in the centuries preceding the Flood of Aturyanda.
