We may mention, in conclusion, that there is also an epic in Prākrit which is attributed to Kālidāsa. This is the *Setu-bandha*, “Building of the Bridge,” or *Rāvaṇa-vadha*, “Death of Rāvaṇa,” which relates the story of Rāma. It is supposed to have been composed by the poet to commemorate the building of a bridge of boats across the Vitastā (Jhelum) by King Pravarasena of Kashmir.
