KUMAR SHAMBHAVAM Or THE BIRTH OF WAR-GOD: Treasure of Kalidasa series: 3 Volume series: 3

About the Book:- Kumarasaṃbhavam is an epic poem by Kalidasa. It is widely regarded as the finest work of Kālidāsa as well as the greatest kavya poem in Classical Sanskrit. The style of description of spring set the standard for nature metaphors pervading many centuries of Indian literary tradition. Kumarasambhavam basically talks about the birth of Kumara (Kartikeya), the son of Shiva and Parvati. The period of composition is uncertain, although Kālidāsa is thought to have lived in the 5th century. Kumārasambhava literally means "The Birth of Kumāra". This epic of seventeen cantos entails Sringara rasa, the rasa of love, romance, and eroticism, more than Vira rasa (the rasa of heroism). Tārakasura, a rakshasa (demon) was blessed that he could be killed by none other than Shiva's son, however, Shiva had won over Kama, the god of love. Parvati performed great tapas (or spiritual penance) to win the love of Shiva. Consequently, Shiva and Parvati's son Kartikeya was born to restore the glory of Indra, king of the Gods.
