Description
The sources of information for a study of subject are not as many as in the case of the later book. The author firmly believes that Kalidas was not a protege of the Gupta Court but lived in second century B.c. and so his prolific works cannot be taken to throw any light on the Gupta empire. One has therefore to depend mainly on the Kamandakiya Nitisastra, the inscription and coins of the Gupta rulers and the accounts of the Chinese traveller Fa-hien for a knowledge of the Gupta Polity.
