Kalidasa : Many works are attributed to him; esp. the dramas Abhijñāna Śākuntalam, Vikramorvasīyam & Mālavikāgnimitram, & three epics Raghuvamsam, Kumara-sambhavam & Meghadutam. One more, Ritusamhāram, is considered by most as Kālidāsa’s. Tradition depicts him as one of Navaratnas (nine gems) adorning the court of King Vikramāditya at Ujjayini in 1st century BC. His patron Vikramāditya was the one who is associated with the Vikram Saṃvat or Era that dates from 58/57 BC. The consolidation of the Mālavas (q.v.) under Vikramāditya took place in 56 BC, & it was subsequent to this date that Kālidāsa came to Ujjayini. In opposition, Indian historians swearing by western historiography insist he lived between the reign of Agnimitra, the second Śuṅga king (c.170 BC), hero of one of his dramas & Aihole Inscription of AD 634, which lauds Kālidāsa – but this fits pretty well with the traditional dating as he could very well have made a past king his hero & the inscription may well be honouring his memory!
