Sandesa Kavyam. This Kavyam follows the
style of AandaaL and Nammazhwar,...... .
In more recent times,
Poet Kalidasa Composed Megha Sandesam ,
where he asks the hurrying clouds to take a
message to his beloved one in the Northern
region. <<<<<<<
This implies that Kalidasa's time is after that of Nammalvar and Andal. I
think Kalidasa's time is 400-500 AD or earlier. Andal's time is 800 AD or
later. Nammalvar's time is supposedly 600-700 AD. I do realize that
traditional time of Alvars is Dvaparam(3100 BC and earlier), and early Kali
Yugam; which makes them thousands of years before Kalidasa.
