  2. “Kadambari” is not a work of Kalidasa. The other three works, “Malavikagnimitram,” “Vikramorvasiyam,” and “Ritusamharam,” are compositions by Kalidasa, the renowned classical Sanskrit poet. “Kadambari” is a Sanskrit prose romance attributed to the Indian writer Banabhatta, not Kalidasa. Banabhatta was a classical Sanskrit prose and poetry writer who lived in the 7th century CE.
