Umschlag berieben.Papierbedingt leicht gebr�t. - AS Sakuntala marks the apex of Kalidasa�s dramatic genius, Kumarasambhava bears witness to his no less genius in the field of narrative verse. The theme of this great epic is truly classical� the marriage of Siva, whom the poet worshipped, to Parvati, the finest embodiment of his ideal of womanhood, and the birth of Kumara, the Lord of War. The exquisite blend of sensuous delight and moral idealism which is so characteristic a feature of this great poet reaches its climax in this masterpiece.
