Abstract
A classical Indian language Sanskrit is said to be originated from Indus Valley presently forming part of north-western India and Pakistan, and has been grouped with the Indo-European languages. Sanskrit was mostly used for religious discourses and is no longer popular in this modern world. Despite being an ancient language, it conveyed a lot about the modern world many years ago, and this knowledge is relevant even today. Kalidasa, one of the greatest literary dramatists, has infused the piousness of this language into his works. He is unrivalled to exhibit his conformity to nature’s law and state that only divine intervention can mould the fate of characters. Theme of love, jealousy, friendship, desire, etc has been already explored by Kalidasa in his play that guides to the modern time in this language itself. The present paper explores the tendency of desires in Dharini, Iravati and Malavika by Kalidasa in the light of Malvikagnimitram and how petals of love unfold bringing ecstasy in the life of Malavika.
