a creative and
critical
commentary on the
beautiful
San-
Mother, written by Kalidasa, the greata select metre Aswa - dhati, named after
The hyrnn is a scintillating work a bewildering yet beautiful variety of word pictures, interlaced with the symbols of mythological characters and unknown, unfamiliar and startlingly new images that come one over the other like a cascade.

In presenting and interpreting the contents of this marvellously beautiful work of Kalidasa, Dr. Mellachervu Bhanu Prasada Rao, a well-informed scholar of conspicuous ability, has produced a masterpiece in literary criticism, a brilliant work of critical understanding.
