Kalidasa’s The Lineage of the Raghus, or Raghuva?sa, belongs to the literary tradition of mahakavya, or court poem. It recounts the lives of ancient kings—such as Dilipa, Raghu, and Rama—who ruled from the capital city of Ayodhya. This volume presents a new edition of the Sanskrit text in the Devanagari script alongside a fresh English translation.
