Kalidasa's "Abhijnanasakuntalam" is a work of such profound beauty that even the most learned scholars, like the commentator Mallinatha, have expressed their humility before it. The play begins with a famous benedictory verse, the Nandi verse, या सृष्टिः स्रष्टुराद्या (Yā sṛṣṭiḥ sraṣṭurādyā), which invokes Lord Shiva through his eight manifest forms. This sets a divine and expansive tone for the drama that follows. As a work that embodies the pinnacle of poetic and dramatic art, it is a cornerstone of Sanskrit Sahitya.
