In ancient times, when poets were counted, Kalidasa was given the little finger. But no genious poet is comparable to him even now the next ring finger is called “अनालमका” became meaningful.

“I wonder if there are any poets at all who are not indebted to Kālidāsa. Even today, they are making a living out of his ideas.” Ganga Devi in Madura Vijayam.

“The path of Kālidāsa, littered with melodiously lucid words, is there for all to see. But Alas! Even as they are seeing it so clearly, none among the poets have been able to walk on the same path.”

कालिदासैः सर्वती ।

तम ु ख ुथ ोऽथवा साक्षाद्-

ववदन ु ाथन्ये तु मादृशाैः ॥

“The greatness and depth of Kālidāsa’s works can be understood and appreciated

by Kālidāsa himself, Goddess Sarasvatī or Lord Brahmā; it cannot be understood by mere mortals
