    In creation of literature, the artists used many poetry tricks and also most of the artists have used the curse concept. The curse concept means just revenging on someone blaming, criticizing insulting. This concept has been used into many creations of great poet Kalidasa and our research question is “for what purpose has Kalidasa used this curse concept in his creations.” For that it is used the two creations of Kalidasa, “Meghadutha” and “Shakunthala” and One prose as “Kadambari”. By doing interviews with scholars and referring literary resources it can be come in to a conclusion that Kalidasa has used curse concept on highlighting love and pain of love seriously.

Commenting on it, many Indian Pundits believe that Ashwaghosha has been influenced by kalidasa. However, now it is commonly acknowledged that Kalsidasa had been influenced by Ashwaghosha. The hypotheis of this study is to examine whether the appreciation of King Suddhodana in Saundarananda had influenced the appreciation of king Dileepa in Raghuvansha. Raghuvansha appreciates king Dileepain 18 verses in the first part, whereas AshwagoshaPada appreciates King Suddhodana approximately in 44 verses in the second part. Both these appreciations hail wisdom, awareness and statecraft of these two kings in an identical manner. In addition to that attitudes towards rivals and companion are also identical. Moreover, many similar characteristics can be identified in terms of the presenting facts on moral values and statecraft.
