About This Book
Meghadūta is a lyric poem written by Kālidāsa, considered to be one of the greatest classical Sanskrit poets. It describes how a yakṣa, who had been banished by his master to a remote region for a year, asked a cloud to take a message of love to his wife. The poem became well-known in Bengali literature and inspired other poets to write similar poems on similar themes. Korada Ramachandra Sastri wrote Ghanavrttam, a sequel to Meghaduta.
