This is from a PhD dissertation in Hindi, submitted to a university from Jhansi in 1989.
In Hindi poetry, Anupras Alankar refers to a literary device where the same sound or letter is repeated in a sentence or verse. It creates a musical effect and enhances the beauty of the poetry.
In English, the closest equivalent is alliteration.
