The Raghuvamsa of Kalidasa

"The Raghuvamsa of Kalidasa with the commentary Sanjivani of Mallinatha Cantos I-V"

The Raghuvamsa sings of the great solar race of Iksvaku in which Visnu was pleased to become incarnate as Rama, that he might destroy the demon Ravana and free the gods and men from his tyranny. This story of the Ramayana forms the central theme of the poem 'Raghuvamsa'.
