There is a vast Sanskrit literature that has delineated the philosophical aspect of Bhakti and Bhakti-Rasa. It can be termed as Sanskrit literature on Devotion. Similarly, the major part of the Sanskrit literature contains exposition on the aspects of devotion and the devotees. It can be explained as Devotion in Sanskrit literature. By Devotional literature, it is to be understood that the Literature which is full of devotional sentiment-the Stutis or Stotras in praise of Gods and Goddesses, the rivers, the great personalities.
This is also a very wide field,since, right from the Vedas upto even present century, there are poets and devotees, who have composed stotras. There is no doubt that there are some hymns in the Vedas, which are full of such devotional sentiments. The two Great epics-the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the eighteen Puranas, the Sanskrit literature-Earlier, Medieval and Modern, contain such Stotras in plenty.
