give a short note about Kalidas
Answers
KALIDAS
Kalidasa (also Kalidas) was the most brilliant literary figure of the Gupta age who shed enduring luster on the secular Sanskrit literature. His literary works were primarily revolved around an ancient Hindu text called “Puranas”.
Kalidasa was the greatest poet and dramatist that ever lived in India and his works have been enjoying an unparalleled reputation and popularity through ages, which remain undiminished even today.
Unfortunately we have no definite idea about the time in which he flourished nor any knowledge about his life. Scholars differ as to the date of Kalidasa, but the general opinion is in favor of regarding him as the court poet of a Gupta Emperor, most probably Chandragupta II Vikramaditya, tradition ascribed Navaratna, i.e. nine gems of literature with King Vikramaditya of whom Kalidasa was the most resplendent. But most scholars think that all nine gems could not have been Kalidasa’s contemporaries.
