Stirr says Muna Madan connects Devkota's world to the world of Nepal's common people of different races and ethnicities by combining folk songs, popular and non-sexist poems, pure spirit, Sanskrit beauty, and Hindu beauty and Hindu morality. . If Devkota continues to produce the most important epic works in literature (Shakuntala, Sulochana, Maharana Pratap), this could be his most popular poem. The poem is not in the context of dialogue but begins with Madan announcing his decision to go to Lhasa (Tibet) in search of the joy of taking good care of his elderly wife and mother.

Muna Madan is an ancient Nepali language book and is one of the leading creations of Nepali poet Laxmi Prasad Devkota, celebrated as the Mahakavi of Nepalese literature. Muna Madan, one of Nepal's most respected literary works, is also a romantic film based on the story of Muna. Written by Nepali poet Laxmi Prasad Devkota with a love affair between his beloved wife Muna and Madan, the play has been translated into director Gyanendra Deuja. The film tells the story of a male character in a Nepalese house who traveled abroad with a dream of earning enough money to meet the family's needs and desires.

Muna Madan, one of Nepal's most respected literary works, is an episodic poem and a short story by Nepali poet Laxmi Prasad Devkota. Written according to Jhyaure's famous tradition, it includes the heartwarming story of Madan going to Lhasa to fulfill a dream come true, adorn his beloved wife Muna with jewelry and gold, and fulfill the last wishes of his ailing mother. The plot follows Madan, who marries Muna, who left Lhasa for Tibet to make a fortune despite his wife's protests.

Muna Madan describes the life of a man, Madan, who leaves his wife Muna to go to Lhasa to get money and only returns when he gets sick on the way. The book follows the lives of Madan and Chhetri, a Kathmandu man who was abandoned by Muna and his wife to Lhasa to raise money. Madan is a helpless farmer who decides to go to Tibet as a money merchant and leaves behind his old, bird-loving mother, to become Muna's wife.

Madan's bad family debts caused Muna to leave for Lhasa, Tibet to work and earn money. Munas Madan also plays the main character of the book, who tries to adapt to life away from his wife, tries to make a living in the city, and eventually returns home to wait at the hands of his mother and wife. Madan’s wife Muna accepts the challenge at last and lives with her old and weak mother-in-law in Lhasa, a dangerous and destitute country. Madan fell ill and returned to his home.

Muna Madan tells the story of a Nepalese family where a man with the idea of earning enough money to meet the family's needs and wants to leave the country. The story follows a man, Madan, who leaves his most important partner, Muna, to Lhasa to get the money back. In the story, the Madan plays the role of a new person in a society where one believes that citizenship is the only place where one can get the life one desires, believing that the only way to feed one's family is to set foot in an unknown land and dream of returning a gold box to her homeland. those who return home find that their loved ones have disappeared and will never return.

It tells the story of Madan, who leaves his wife Muna and goes to Tibet to get money. The story is about her mother Madan Laxmi Prasad Devkota who wants to stabilize the fact that traditional society and unscientific beliefs in Nepali society have negative consequences for unemployment and poverty. The man, Madan, who left one of his most important Muna to go to Lhasa in search of money, represents Nepali youth who are flocking to live for a living.

Madan Chhetri, a Kathmandu man who leaves Muna and his wife for Lhasa to enrich himself, wants to spend only a few weeks in the city, but he spends a lot of time there and is captivated by the beauty of the city. The descriptions of the world and the feelings are real, and one cannot help but feel like one of the Madan, trembling in the cold of snow and feeling the pain of losing a loved one.
