Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A

Explanation

Meghaduta and Raghuvamsam are two of the most celebrated works of the classical Sanskrit poet Kalidasa. Meghaduta is a lyric poem (Meghasandesa) about a yaksha sending a message to his wife via a cloud, while Raghuvamsam is an epic poem (Mahakavya) detailing the lineage of the Raghu dynasty.

Shringar Shatak, on the other hand, was written by the philosopher-poet Bhartrihari. It is part of his famous trilogy known as the Shatakatraya (Three Centuries of Verses), which also includes the Niti Shatak (on ethics and worldly wisdom) and the Vairagya Shatak (on renunciation). Since only the third book is not authored by Kalidasa, the correct answer is Option A.
