Meghapratisandesha Kavyam of Sri Korada Ramachandra Sastri: An Introduction

Authors(1) :-Dr. K. Suryanarayana

The Meghasandesa of Kalidasa is considered as one of the master pieces of world literature. It is a tale of separation and longing that is enriched by glowing description of nature. Meghasandesa stops with Yaksha's message to the cloud, leaving a curiosity in reader’s mind as to what happened later. This has inspired some poets to compose sequels to Meghasandesa. Ghanavrttam is one such work that completes the story - the cloud messenger goes to Alaka where he delivers the message and returns back to Yaksha with the beloved's message, and the reunion of the couple after the completion of one year. This paper introduces the work, the author and its poetic excellence.
