The word “prat” in literature is remarkably versatile, appearing both as a marker of triviality and as an honorific element in diverse linguistic and historical contexts. It is used informally to denote nonsensical chatter or foolish behavior – as when characters are described as “prat‐ing” or “prat-tling” to convey their absurdity ([1], [2], [3]). At the same time, “prat” emerges as an integral component of personal and regal names in classical and historical narratives, often invoking notions of nobility or illustrious heritage, as seen in compound forms like Pratāpa and Pratápasimha ([4], [5], [6], [7]). This dual usage underscores how the term flexibly oscillates between lighthearted ridicule and serious appellation, enriching the texture of literary discourse across genres and eras ([8], [9], [10]).
