Kalidasa’s Meghaduta

Kalidasa's Meghaduta's present edition is not only based on manuscripts and contains a very learned and informative 'Preface' and 'Correspondence of Verses in Different Recensions of the Meghaduta'-which is most important for the problems of higher textual criticism even after Scharpe's and De's critical editions-, but includes also the text of Vallabhadeva's (first half of the 10th century) Vivrti, the oldest known commentary on the Meghaduta and an 'Appendix' of 'Spurious Verses' and a 'Vocabulary' containing all the words of the text together with their occurrences and their meanings.
