The fact that both of the epics of Kālidāsa belong to the most famous productions of court-poetry is proved not only by the frequent references to them in works on poetics, but also by the large number of commentaries that exist on each of both the works. There are more than 20 different commentaries on the Raghuvamśa and not less than 33 on the Kumārasambhava². The epics of Kālidāsa surpass all later epics in matter of simplicity of language and scrupulous avoidance of subtlity.
