Kumārasambhava
Kumārasaṃbhavam () is an epic poem by Kālidāsa. The "Kumārasaṃbhavam" is widely regarded as one of Kālidāsa's finest works, a paradigmatic example of kāvya poetry. The style of description of spring set the standard for nature metaphors pervading many centuries of Indian literary tradition.

The period of composition is uncertain, although Kālidāsa is thought to have lived in the 5th century.
