His poetical prodne tona alone stand as an ummortal monument of his surpassing poctic excellence and we must content oureelves with gathering what httle information we can get about a poet of such world wide repute from external eources, and a few madents found here and there in bis works, which may be supposed to have a distant bearing upon the history of his life 1A trme- honoured tradition sesouates the mame of hahidzss with that of the epoch miking Vikramaditya of Ujjain The keen interest and admiration mth which the poet describes the Vahakala, the Sipra and the other beauties of Ujyarm, unmistakably pomt to the conclusion that be must bave been a nate of that aty And the various covert references to the mame of Vikrama in folly enlogitic terms, which(2) are doubtless meant to immortalise King Vikramaditya are inexplicable if that monarch be not regarded ns the poet's patron, Kalidasa also betraya considerable acquaintance with court life in Ina works, He was a Brahman by caste and was a devout worshipper of Shiva, He seems to have travelled a good deal, His graphite description of the Himalayan scenes looks very mnch hike that of one whe was aneye witness He scems to have enjoyed great popularity durifit his life time, Hia works bear further testimony to his considerable acquaintance with the Vedas. Beyond these facts nothing is ‘mown for certain about our et at present. m The following is a list of the works generally attributed to him-—{1) 2 2 His works fentriata (3) ratenatr a) cals (3) earudat (6) taza (7) Hrarsce ry {8) sade (9) aakan (10) qaata (it) « smafrenncar and s few more whose authorship is doubtful. In Sanskrit literary history there have been many poets who bore the name of wftare, Kalidasa ia indisputably the greatest mastermind in Sanskrit poetry. His genius has His Poetry been recognised in India from very esrly times. He has been and will ever be enshtined in the hearts of his countrymen as the prince of Indian poets. He has evokedm2) @pontuncous outpourings of praise and manifestations of admrition from foregn “gohol ea and poeta who lid access to fis works ether directly or through translations Govthe, the Germain poet lise bestowed the Inghest meed of prare on him The wellknown plnlusopher and, t aveller, Homboldt pronounces the following yndement ahalidass, the celebrited author of the Shakuntol:, 19 8 masterly deseriber of the influence which nature exercises upou the minds of lovers Tenderness in the expression of feelings ond richness of creative fancy hive assigned to hrm Ins lefty place amen, the poets of all nations *” Severil eminent afentalsts have also offered their tribnte of praise to our Indian Shakespeare, as Sir Willam Jones was first to call bie, the very companion of Kalidasa to Shakespeare 1s the highest form of eulogy tht could he bestowed upon bim by foragn unites Sir Momer Withams while writing tbout the Shekuntals thuy expresses hiunself “0 composition of Kalidasa diplays more the richness of hus poctical jentus, the exaberance of is mmarinition, the wirmth and play of Ins fancy, ls profonal knowledge of the human heart, bis deheate appretations, Jus familiarity with the workige and counter workings of its conflicting felines, in short more entitles him to rank ns the Shakespeare of Indis(#) Prof, Sassen calls him ‘the brightest star in the firmament of Indian poetry.’ eghall now briefly consider Kalidssa’s poetry, his ‘étyle and dictton in general His poetic genius has brought Sanskrit poetry to the highest elegance and refinemegt. 1 His style is pecaltarly pure and chaste. It is ‘wuartificral and characterized by brevity consistent with perspienity. An unuffected simplicity of expresaion and a 2 ey flowmg Janguage mark his writings which are ont ished with ‘aostles unparalle for their beanty and appropriateness, and_ pithy general sayings His diction ia marked by the absenceot foug compounds ; involved vonstructions, overwrought rhetoric and artifical *piint'~"Ralidasa excels other poets in his descriptiog 6? ihe Sablime and the beau- tiful. His descriptive powers are great and some of the scenes in the Shakuntala, the Meghaduta and the Raghuvamsha are go enchanting as to hold his readers spell bound. {It The Play (1) The Plot (The Abbijnana Shakuntala is a Atzm in seven Acta baged on the well known love story of King Dashyanta and the maidea Shskuntala, given in the ancient Indian epic, the erm. The scene of the first four seta is laid at Kanwn's hermitage st ‘4 & fF the foot of the Himalaya and later it shifts to the capital Hastinapura € Acts V and VI) and finally to Marichas hermitage on the Hemakuta Mountain Below 13 piven a detailed analyzis of the story of the play, Act by Act Act I King (4-4 1s introdaced in fall hunting garb followed by bus charioteer While the King is about to shoot hs irraw at an antelope, pursued by him, he as interrupted by an ascetic whe tells him that it belongs to the HHT The bing refraine from Killing the deer and being invited t> the STH, goes there and is entertained by og-tati He wees her other two companions and comes to know about Shakuntala’s birth and pirentare He falls in love with her snd ehe with lum Act If The hing ts introduced in love erck atate The Vidushaks 1s trying to soothe the hing The King directs his general to stop the chase ant order lis followers not to disturb the hermitage The hang tells the Vi lushaks all about lis love and wants tohave some pretevt of staying in the Lermitage His difficulty w solved, for come ascetics come and request tum to stay and look after the safety of their sacrificial rites It proves nn opportune and welcome invitation and the Aung accepte it He sends the Viduahaka to lus royal mother, lest he might make bia forest love known to othert(&) Act Ill. In the Interlude it is stated thet uy-Tat, toc, is now affected by the malady of love and is lying on s flowerehed with her iwo companions, ministering unto her with cooling remedies. The king is introduced in a fove sick condition and chanee Jeada him near the samo tower wherein are seated WE-aat sod her companions. In the course of her convers- ation with the latter qgamt confesses her passion for ameq who, taking advantage of this opportunity ninkes = formal declaration of bis anit. At this noion of the lovera the companions discreetly withdraw but wear 1 called off by an elderly relative. The disconsolate king finds active work in his accepted oceupation of keeping off the evil spirits from the sacrificial altare. Act (V. Daring the interval after the last act, Dushyants bas married Shakuntala by the gandherva form of marrisze and has then left for capital, having promiced to send a suitable guard to take his bride to her rightful home, Dashyanta's palace, while Sakuntala is alone in the hermitage, her thoughts being away with her absent linsband, she fails to offer proper hospitality to the Choleric sage, Darvasas, who comes to the ashrama asa guest. The hot-tempered eage curses her with the words—' He, of whom thow art thinking, neplecting to receive me properly a8 a gruest, won't remember you even when reminded{8 ) (by you)" One of Shakuntala’s companions, however, pleads Shokuntala’s abcent-mindednecs and obtains from the rage forgiveness and concesmon in eo far that the curse woull cere to have eflect on the production of some token of recogmitton (This has an important bearing on the plot, as will be seen later) The two companions say nothing about the curse to any one, they do not even communicate it to Shakuntala, as they thought it was not advisable to worry her math it, and eapectally as some token of recogmtion could casily be produced when the occasion needed we Allthisis related an at Interlade In the Act proper we learn that Kanva has come to know of Shakontala's marriize and that he hs approved of tt In the meaniybile the curse has begun to operate and Dushyanta has completely forgotten everything about hus forest bride But thore in the hermitage are not aware of thit, and, as Shakuntals hae, by this ume, developed ugna of pregnacey, they are now preparing to send her to her tawfal husband The whole ecene depicting | er departure from the penance prove where she had rended eo long and where every plant, ereeper and animal was bound to her by ties of affection, 18 very tonchingly portrayed It contains also Kanvas well known advice to Shakuatals oo the duties of & wife and danghter in law Act V The scene now shifts to Doshyanta’s capital(5) The ascetics escorting Shakuntala's arrival at the royal palace wish to see the king, who, having forgotten everything, calmly orders his chamberlain to admit the party into his royal presence, little suspecting their mission. After an exchange of greetings, Sharngarava, the chief of the rages that accompanied Shakuntals congratulates the king on his morriage,and invites hics to accept his wife as the Queen, The kiag, to whom al! this comes as 2 complete surprise, denier all knowledge of the affair, and even Shakuntala fails torouse hia curre-swept tmemory, Aga Jaat resort abe wants to show him bis ring, which he had given at parting aud which could have been a sure taken but as ill-luck would have tt it had slipped off her fingers during the journey. Mutual recrimination« lead to nothing and her party leave the audience hall. Outside while she was bemoaning ber fate, 2 cefestiat lady descends from heaven and carries her sway. The king and courtiers are unable to explain; and the curfaia drops, leaving the king musing in a gloom of vexatious nacertainty. Act VI. The ring which Slakuntala had dropped in 2 pool of water on her journey is discovered inside a fish by » fisherman, whom the police aceuse of thelt and take to the king for being dealt with, H+ is of course let off by King Dushyants, who at the eight of that token of rocognition, is freed from the influence( &) Of gage Darvasis curse and now distinctly remembers fia marrige with the repudiated Shakuntals and all Jetaila conne ted with it He 1s now deeply grieved, but ia helpless He is clovely followed in the course of his sorrow by Sanumati,s heavenly nymph, who interested ta Shakuntsla owing toher vonnexios with Mentks, Shakuntalas mother The king diverts his mind in the company of bis confidant, the Vidu shaka, but atevery moment lus grief harrowing deep down into his soul Anito mike matters worse he receives a letter from his minister, announcing the death of a merchant, named Dhanmittra, who dies sonleas and who property coneqnentiv goer to royal tressury Thus leads him ta reflect on his own sonless state, until the grief caused thereby makes him unconscious A welcome divernon is creited at this time by Motal, Indraa chanoteer, who arriver srith ameaize fron hte mister to Doshyanta to come and proseed forthwith to do battle with certun troublesome demons, the enemies of the hing of the Goda Dushyanti assents and leaves in Indra’a car to proceed on his expedition Act VIL ‘The king 13 successful in ius expedition and is dismissed by Indes after being received with extraordinary honour While retutaing throagh the sky inthe car driven by Matal, he alights on the Mountain Hemakuta, where the holy spe Kasysps( t ) { Marichs ) resided, and whom the king saluted reverently on his way. He goes to the hermitage while Matali is sone to seek Kasyspa. King Doshyants comes across a young Lov, the very image of himeelf playing with a lion’e eub. At his sight the king ‘experiences a strange emotion, as though the boy were his own son. It gradually comes out in the course Of talk with the boy's attendant females that he belongs to the Paru race ( Dushyanta's own race } and that his mother’s wame is Shakuntala, The king now suspects tie truth, viz, most Iikely the boy is Lis own sou, and it ts confirmed by the entrance of Shakantala herself who recognizes her Jord. Mutual explanations follow and the pair is reconciled. Kuayapa then enters, he explains the incident of curse and how it clouded ;Dushyanta’s memory, so that the repudiation was not the king’s fonlt. He pronounces his blessings on the couple and sends them off to- gether with their son, in that avme ear of Indra, to their capital where they live ever happily afterwards.

It aims at gtving arealistic picture of the life of the people in a more marked degree than the other two. The usual expethent employed by writera of erotic plays, viz., the ratroductionof a rival wife or wives, to give variety to the action and add interest to the incidents by the vaweleome interruptions of love meetings of the Hero and the Heroine, ia not made use of in the presece play. Another distinguishing feature of it ia comparatively the insignificant part assigned to the Vidushaka,who is conspicuausin the othor two plays. There are alee no maid servants introduced in connexion with the love intrigue, since there ia none such mentioned in the play. Balidasa isregarded saa master of similes and of aweet aud melodious language; and thia is amply borne out by the present play.
