Kalidasa's "Raghuvamsham" is a monumental work that chronicles the lineage of the kings of the solar dynasty. This edition of the first canto offers a comprehensive look into the poet's genius. The epic begins with the famous verse वागर्थाविव संपृक्तौ (Vāgarthāviva saṁpṛktau), a humble invocation that beautifully illustrates the inseparable connection between word and meaning. It then proceeds to describe the noble qualities of the kings, as seen in verses like त्यागाय संभृतार्थानां (Tyāgāya saṁbhṛtārthānāṁ). This Mahakavya is an essential component of the Sanskrit Sahitya canon.
