[Footnote 1: In the Aihole Inscription (edited by Dr. Fleet) of the Western Chálukya King Pulike[S']in II, dated [S']aka 556=A.D. 634–35, actual mention is made of Kálidása and Bháravi by name, and Professor Kielhorn has informed me that he found a verse from the Raghu-van[S']a quoted in an inscription dated A.D. 602.]

[Footnote 2: As to the other two, the most celebrated, called

Vikramorva[S']í, has been excellently translated by Professors H.H.

Wilson and E.B. Cowell, and the Málavikágnimitra, by Professor Weber,

the eminent Orientalist of Berlin.]
