Correct Answer: b) Only 3
Question from UPPSC Prelims 2025
Explanation:
Meghaduta and Raghuvamsam (Raghuvamsha) are canonical works of Kalidasa—a lyric poem and a mahakavya (epic) respectively. Shringar Shatak (Shringara Shataka), however, is attributed to Bhartrhari, not Kalidasa.
Hence, Only 3 is not by Kalidasa.
