Sri Shyamala Dandakam : Syamala Dandakam

Mahakavi Kalidasa, Alok Jagawat, Translator

Abstract

Sri Kālidāsa is often referred as mahākavi Kālidāsa which means the best of all poets. He was a great poet and playwright of the Sanskrit language. He composed the works based on the mythology and philosophy of India and his compositions depict various forms and origins of Indian life and philosophy. Kalidas is considered a national poet by some scholars. What miracle? What blessings of a Devi? That turned the dumb Kālidāsa to Mahākavi Kālidāsa. What was his relation with mahāvidhya mātaṃgī? All this will be explained in this small book on Śyāmalā Daṇḍakam.
