The Sanskrit love poem Kokila Sandeśa was modeled upon the Meghadūta of Kālidāsa, which was in turn primarily based on what type of Indian writings?
Kālidāsa Kālidāsa was a Classical Sanskrit writer, widely regarded as the greatest poet and dramatist in the Sanskrit language. His plays and poetry are primarily based on the Indian Puranas.
Sangita Sangita (Devanagari: संगीत , IAST: saṃgīta ), also spelled Samgita or Sangeeta, refers to "music and associated performance arts" in the Indian traditions. According to Guy Beck, the root "saṃ-" implies "combining, coming together, convergent wholesome blending, unison" in the context of musical arts. "Sangita" connotes any form of singing with music, harmonious recitation or chorus singing in particular. In some medieval era literary genre such as the Puranas and poetic texts such as "Kathasaritsagar", a related term "Sangita-shastra" and "Sangita-vidya" mean the "art, science or knowledge of singing and dancing with music". According to Alison Arnold and Bruno Nettl, the modern term music fails to capture the historic sense of "Sanskrit "sangita" and Greek "mousike"". In the Indian tradition, the term "sangita" includes melodious singing, rhythmic dancing, instrumental music, classical, provincial, ritual chanting and incidental forms of music-related performance arts.
