    Solution :

     Kalidasa work included: Abhigyan-Shakun-talam, Meghadootam, Malavikagnmutra, Ritusamhara and I Kumarsambhavam. Kalidasa wrote seven works. 'Kumarasambhava? and 'Raghuvamsha' are his two epic poems. 'Malavikagnimitra', 'Vikramorvashiya' and 'Abhigyan Shakuntala5 are his celebratecu lays.
