               Muna -Madan is one of the best creation of great poet of Nepali literature,Laxmi Prasad Devkota.This book has been written in poetic version.By the way this book  describe s  a well elaborated poor society of Nepalese  rural area.Madan is the main character of this book who represents all the Nepalese youths who are willing to go abroad to earn their living.Because of unemployment problems and poverty ,thousands of Nepalese people are going third countries to sell their sweat and blood.
          
            Muna is wife of Madan who is the queen of love and sacrifice.She knows their poverty needs to be eliminated and that is possible only she lets her husband to go to Lahsa even though the work would be uncertain and risky.She would be here alone for a number of days ,but she accepted this challange.She stayed in her country with her mother in law who is weak and old.She tries to forget about the bitters of her life by taking care of  this old woman.
          In this book ,what Madan does in Lahsa and what are the difficulties he has to face there and during his journey is well focused.While going through the different countryside areas,Madan catches a deadly disease,but his accompanied friends turn out to be selfish.finally he will be rescued by a man who is considered to be a lower cast in Nepal.
So it is said that a man is said to be great and honourable not because of his race and caste but by a heart in which there is a progrssion of love and  humanity.
During this period Madan's mother dies and he returns back home country .
          Above and all,Laxmi Prasad Devkota wants to stabilize the facts of traditional societies,unscientific beliefs,poverty,love,friendship,the relationship of husband and wife, love between mother and son etc.Because of the combination of all these categories of human life,this book has earned a great successful  journey in Nepali literature and it will be living forever.
