Nepal, the birth place of Kalidas; [synopsis

---

Shri Harsha, the celebrated poet of 12th century, has mentioned the name of Nepal in Naishadiya Charitam, as we read on 12/43.

But at the time of Kalidasa 1st century B. C. it seems to me that Nepal was not in the same political form as she is at present. Then the Western Nepal was in .Uttarakoshala and the Eastern was in Mithila, as is learnt from the Sarayumahatmya and Mithilamahatmya. It is vividly seen fhat Nepal in those days was divided into the several petty states, as we find in the above quoted stanza.

But the case of Kalidasa is different from that of Shri Harsha. Kalidasa was thoroughly acquainted even with an ordinary grass of Nepal, though he has not given the name of Nepal as Shri Harsha did. It was partially from his un-selfish nature and partially out of the non-existence of a particular kingdom known as Nepal separate from the other ones at the time of Raghu.
