Long ago, quite some time in the past, in India, close to the city of Ujjain, lived a delightful and learned ruler, a little girl named Vidyottama. The princess was extremely glad for her learning. She would frequently place the shrewd men in the ruler's court. They began to disdain her despite the fact that they were reluctant to ostensibly show it. One day, a gathering of savvy men strolling by the woods saw an exceptionally strange sight. An attractive young fellow was perched on the tip of one of the upper branches and attempting to slash the branch from its base. The shrewd men promptly concurred that this man was an incredible simpleton. This man was, as a matter of fact, Kalidasa. They chose to utilise him to get back at Vidyottama.
Vidyottama was of eligible age. She had chosen to just marry a man who was more shrewd than her. The shrewd men carried the proposition to be engaged to the ruler. They likewise noted that Kalidasa was an extremely scholarly man who was on a drawn-out maun-vrat (the commitment of quietness). It was viewed as evidence that maun-vrat brought immaculateness to the mind and discourse and was rehearsed by numerous sages back then. The lord was dazzled by the magnificence of the young fellow and the commendations from the savvy men of his court. Be that as it may, Vidyottama wouldn't be fulfilled until she tried her own learning. A discussion was organised where Vidyottama and Kalidasa would just convey through motions.
The princess raised her pointer. Kalidasa immediately answered by showing two fingers. He had imagined that Vidyottama was important enough to jab him in the eye. He was clearly considering outshining her. As a matter of fact, she had shown that God is one without a second. Kalidasa's response was carefully deciphered, as reality has two sections: the incomparable God and the singular soul. She was astounded by this insight. Wandering further, she showed her five fingers to demonstrate five fingers. Kalidasa thought she was going to slap him, so he showed his clenched hand. This time, Vidyottama figured it to imply that controlling the five faculties can prompt extreme significance. Accordingly dazzled, she then consented to wed Kalidasa.
Vidyottama was of eligible age. She had chosen to just wed a man who was smarter than her. The insightful men carried the proposition to be engaged to the lord. They likewise referenced that Kalidasa was an extremely educated man who was on a drawn out maun-vrat (the commitment of quiet). It was viewed as that maun-vrat brought immaculateness of psyche and discourse and was polished by numerous sages back then. The ruler was intrigued by the excellence of the young fellow and the commendations from the astute men of his court. Be that as it may, Vidyottama wouldn't be fulfilled before she tried his learning, herself. A discussion was organized where Vidyottama and Kalidasa would just convey through motions.
Grief stricken, Kalidasa was going to end it all. He was an enthusiast of Kali. He implored Her to concede him insight. With the favors of Goddess Kali, Kalidasa was blessed with information and mind. He became one of the best Sanskrit artists of all times (mahakavi) and one of the "nine gems" of the court of Lord Vikramaditya.
