This volume contains five Kavyas of Kalidasa: Srngaratilaka, Rtusamhara,
Meghaduta, Kumarasambhava and Raghuvamsa.
Srngaratilaka and Rtusamhara display the poetic imagination of his
early youth. The Meghaduta is the work of his advanced years. The
Kumarasambhava and Raghuvamsa are the works of his mature age. His Kavyas
are praised for the happy choice of his subjects, for his illustrations
derived from nature and human life. In this volume the text is followed by
English translation. Each and every Kavya is prefixed with an English
Introduction or an Editorial Note. The general introduction has been
incorporated in the Introduction to the text of RAghuvamsa to which notes
are added to discuss the passages where the commentators differ in their
interpretations.
