Kālidāsa
The most popular theory is that Kalidasa flourished during the reign of Chandragupta II, and therefore lived around 4th-5th century CE. Several Western scholars have supported this theory, since the days of William Jones and A. B. Keith. Many Indian scholars, such as Vasudev Vishnu Mirashi and Ram Gupta, also place Kalidasa in this period. According to this theory, his career might have extended to the reign of Kumaragupta I (r. 414 – 455 CE), and possibly, to that of Skandagupta (r. 455 – 467 CE).
Maladhar Basu
Maladhar Basu () (c. 15th century) was a Bengali poet. He wrote "Sri Krishna Vijaya" (শ্রীকৃষ্ণবিজয়, "Triumph of Lord Krishna"), the earliest Bengali narrative poem that can be assigned to a definite date. It is also the oldest Bengali narrative poem of Krishna legend. It was composed between 1473 and 1480. The long poem is a translation of the 10th and 11th cantos of the "Bhagavata Purana"; a part of "Vishnu Purana" and the story of "Ramayana" is also incorporated here.
