Kumarasambhavam Mahakavyam

A brief introduction to 5th canto Kumarasambhavam Mahakavyam kumārasambhava Mahākāvyam part-03 pārvatī tapaḥphalōdaya (= fulfilling the Parvati's penance, fifth canto)-86 verses.  As the poet has named this canto in kumārasambhavam of kālidāsa, it is clear to us the main meaning of all around the 86 verses. Parvati was not willing to lose her aspiration, therefore, entered into the forest for the purses of penance. She expected two achievements of the penance. Those are the love of Shiva, and his possession. It has been said by Kalidasa in such words. iyēṣa sā kartumavandhyarūpatāṁ - samādhimanvāya tapōbhirātmanaḥ, avāpyatē vā kathamanyathā dvayaṁ - tathā vidhaṁ prēmapatiśca tādṛśāṁ.

It is not practical to think that literal works of each poet were based for this. The dedication of other poets who have produced the literary creations will necessarily affect the stability of the literary foundation. It is also necessary to recall the poets who attempted to belay the literary surface.
