“A jewel is sought after and has not to seek.”

Quotes from workKumārasaṃbhava
Kumārasaṃbhavam is an epic poem by Kālidāsa. The Kumārasaṃbhavam is widely regarded as one of Kālidāsa's finest works, a paradigmatic example of kāvya poetry. The style of description of spring set the standard for nature metaphors pervading many centuries of Indian literary tradition. Kumarasambhava basically talks about the birth of Kumara , the son of Shiva and Parvati. The period of composition is uncertain, although Kālidāsa is thought to have lived in the 5th century.
