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.
Aśvaghoṣa Aśvaghoṣa or Ashvaghosha (/'əɕʋə'gʰoːʂə/ ;  80 – c. 150 CE ) was an Indian philosopher-poet, born in Saketa in northern India to a Brahmin family. He is believed to have been the first Sanskrit dramatist, and is considered the greatest Indian poet prior to Kālidāsa. He was the most famous in a group of Buddhist court writers, whose epics rivalled the contemporary Ramayana. Whereas much of Buddhist literature prior to the time of Aśvaghoṣa had been composed in Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit, Aśvaghoṣa wrote in Classical Sanskrit.
