Lakshmi Dhar Kalla (1891–1953), a Sanskrit scholar and a Kashmiri Pandit, wrote a book titled The birth-place of Kalidasa (1926), which tries to trace the birthplace of Kalidasa based on his writings. He concluded that Kalidasa was born in Kashmir, but moved southwards,. This commentary has never before been published, so this is the first time that one of the most important sources for the text and the interpretation of Kalidasa's poem has been made available.

BuddhacarifcaKatha. KathasaritsagaraAbhijnanasakuntalaP U B L I S H E R S ' NOTE To the First Edition We have great pleasure in publishing this monograph on Kalidasa which was originally intended t o, be tha second number in our Life and Let tern Series. As however, the work progressed, it became increasingly clear that, if justice was to be done to the subject, it would not be possible to accommodate it in the said series.

Hence its publication as a separate book. However, the bcok fulfils the aims and objects of our Life and Letters Series, which as already announced are to make easily available to the generality of our readers definite authoritative information about the distinguished sons of I n d i a, both ancient and modern, who by their achievements in their respective fields of a c t i v i t y have helped and are helping to create the Glory that was—and is to be—Ind. One of these, to be sure, is Kalidasa, the H i g h Priest at the shrine cf classical I n d i a n Poesy. H i s name has a universal appeal; and his works, as the author observes about the Sakuntala, have almost a nostalgic effect upon the I n d i a n m i n d. A n d yet how many of us have any clear ideas about the poet's life and art? A book like the present one w h i c h is comprehensive in the o u t l i n e of its subject matter and yet not too scholarly in its treatment would be very helpful to a l l those who are desirous of acquainting themselves w i t h our r i c h heritage.

W r i t t e n in a flowing and graceful style, the book w i l l be found interesting to the l a y reader and absorbing to the University student. The former w i l l be charmed by the unfolding of the beauty and rich imagery of Kalidasa's works while the latter w i l l greatly benefit by the c r i t i c i sms offered thereon.

The controversial questions such asviiiPUBIISHEFS' NOTEKalidasa's date, P r a k r i t stanzas in the fourth A c t of Vikramvrvasiya, the indebtedness of Asvaghosa to Kalidasa and many others have been exhaustively and c r i t i c a l l y dealt w i t h, yet the interest nowhere wanes and throughout the reader remains in the i d y l l i c atmosphere of Kalidasa's creations. The work has been further enriched by the inclusion of a number of verses from Kalidasa's poems and plays—some revealing his mastery over language, some showing his classic imagination, while some others pointing to his' scholarship and a few his philosophy.

The book has behind i t, the study and experience of the anchor who is a professor of Sanskrit of nearly fifteen years' standing at one of the foremost colleges in the Presidency. Jhala's Asvina in the Rgveda has been looked upon by Dr. Schrader, University of K i e l, K i e l, Germany, as ' an excellent contribution to Vedic research ' and as having 'hardly a n y t h i n g unacceptable/' H i s editions of the Raghuvamsa V I - X and Jagannatha's Bhaminhilasa I and IV have been received w a r m l y by the scholastic fraternity. This book w i l l bave served a useful purpose if its careful penis il inspires the reader to go to the o r i g i n a l sources and appreciate the beauty and charm of Kalidasa's creations.PREF'ACE'When, at the i n v i t a t i o n of Messrs.

Padma Publications L t d. To contribute a small volume on Kalidasa in their Life and Letters Series, I undertook to write this monograph, I had two conditions to f u l f i l: one, the book was intended for the lay reader; and, second, it was not to exceed a certain page l i m i t. The latter condition has been violated because the book as it is now published far exceeds the o r i g i n a l l y contemplated size. It could hardly be otherwise if a book on Kalidasa such as this one is to claim anything l i k e completeness—not, indeed, of treatment but—of outline of the various problems and aspects of the subject matter.

This book briefly deals w i t h the different aspects—historical and c r i t i c a l — o f Kalidasa's life and works. The fact that it is intended for the general reader has necessitated the substitution of the austere impersonal style of a scientific work by one more direct and personal. The summaries of the contents of the different works are not merely factual—they are rather given in detail and are intended to give the reader glimpses into the beauty of conception or richness of imagination of the poet and thus to stimulate his curiosity to see the originals. Quotations in Sanskrit are not infrequently given. They can be passed over by a reader who does not know Sanskrit: the continuity of the matter in English would not be affected. There is sufficient c r i t i c a l matter in the book which w i l l be useful to U n i v e r s i t y students. Indeed, it may be modestly claimed that the book is not without interest to advanced students of Kalidasa.PREFACEXI tender my thanks to Hillebrandt, 'Keith, 'Ryder, Nandargikar, Pandit, and other scholars whose works have been consulted by me in tLe preparation of this work.

J.Preface to the Second Edition Except for a few important additions by way of footnotes, the present edition is practically a reprint of.the first w h i c h was sold out nearly three years ago. Xavier's College, Bombay, 8th April, 1949.G. J.KALIDASA I W H E N DID HE L I V E? If it were possible for Kalidasa to come down to us and interest himself in the problems of literature and literary history of today, he is certain to be amazed at the bewild.

Ering number and variety of views that have been held about his own time and person. He w i l l stare w i t h incredulity on being told that attempts were made to assign h i m to the eleventh century A.

As a Court poet of K i n g Bhoja of Dhara. He w i l l in a l l likelihood feel tickled when informed that his patron, Vikramaditya, whose name the V i k r a m a era bears, was none other than K i n g Yasodharman who, in order to commemorate his victory over the Sakas in 544 A. D., not only started a new era but sought to lend i t greater glory by antedating i t by 600 years! He w i l l be intrigued to learn that his covert reference to his r i v a l D i n g n a g a i n Megh. 14 has been w e l l understood and that this Dingnaga is identified as the Buddhist logician who lived about the fifth century A. One can well imagine his reactions when he is told that he had flourished in the sixth century A.

Or the fifth or probably the fourth or even the third or, finally, in the first century B. It would be hardly surprising if in the face of this array of views about the time when he lived he were to refuse to open his mouth on this question—even to-day. The fact of the matter is that this 'prince among Sanskrit poets and dramatists' has scrupulously avoided a l l reference to his f a m i l y or friends or incidents in his own life, save the bare mention of his name in the Prologues of his threeKALIDASAplays. Out of modesty, or what is more probable, f o l l o w i n g the custom prevailing in bis days, be has maintained a t o t a l silence about bis personal Iife which, had it been described ever so casually, might have furnished us w i t h at least some definite information about h i m and spared scholarship not a l i t t l e of the pains it has taken BO unsuccessfully to acquire it. Consequently, popular i m a g i n a t i o n has got busy a l l these centuries t e l l i n g various stories and inventi n g legends purporting to embody various incidents in the life of the poet. For instance, one legend says that Bhavabhuti, the celebrated dramatist, took his drama Uttararamacaritu after its completion to Kalidasaand, after reading the same before h i m, asked for suggestions.

K a l i dasa complimented Bhavabhuti on his work and added that he had only one suggestion to make in the verse,( W h i l e we, resting closely, together, cheek to cheek w i t h one arm of each engaged in close embrace, whispered ' sweet n o t h i n g s ' at random in very gentle tones, the night thus ended w i t h o u t our noticing how the watches passed by ): In the last line nq should be changed to ( The line w i l l then mean:. N i g h t i t self came to an end without our noticing how the watches passed by 1 ). W h a t a heightening of the beauty of the description by the smallest of changes! This story, however, can hardly be true, as Bhavabhiiti is known to have flourished about the first quarter of the eighth century A.D., while Kalidasa who is mentioned in the Aihole Inscription of 634 A.D.

Cannot be later than theW H E N DID HE L I V E V3sixth century A. Another story says how Kalidasu, Bhavabhuti and Dandin once saw a youthful g i r l p l a y i n g w i t h a ball and how each one of them gave his own description of the ball in single stanzas. Entertaining as these spicy legends are, they are obviously worthless for the.purposes of the literary historian.

The Bhoja pmbandha of Ballalasena w h i c h is f u l l of episodes recounted about Kalidasa at the Court of Bhoja is only a fabrication and therefore useless in the present connection. As it is, we are left to depend only on external evidence for the purpose of ascertaining the poet's date and utilise his works for gathering whatever information we can about him. The question of Kalidasa's date has since long become one of the most important problems of literary history and scholars, both Indian and foreign, have tried to tackle it w i t h a zeal and assiduity which are t r u l y remarkable. The problem has become h i g h l y complex by reason of the variety of arguments advanced and conclusions reached: here we shall consider it only briefly. A n y view which puts Kalidasa later than the sixth century A. Is clearly inadmissible, for we have definite evidence before us to show that he could not have l i v e d later.

Bapa in his HarxacarUa mentions Kalidasa and pays a handsome tribute to his poetry in the verse:In Haryicaritu Baria gives a description of his patron. Sri Harsa, who is unanimously identified as Sri Harsa of Kanouj who ruled over Northern and Central I n d i a from 606 to 647 A. This, therefore, settles the date of Baria as the first half of the seventh century. Belonging practically to the same period of time is the evidence of the Aihole Inscription of E a v i k l r t i who in h i g h l y - w r o u g h t4KALIDASA.verse glorifies his patron Pulakesin II and aspires to vie w i t h Kalidasa and Bharavt in poetic fame. Cf:The Inscription is dated 634 A.

The lower l i m i t of Kalidasa's date is therefore fixed at the sixth century A.
