Ancient Indian Literature - Sunga Dynasty

Malavikagnimitra is a play written by Kalidasa depicting the love story of Agnimitra, the son of Pushyamitra Shunga (founder of the Sunga dynasty), and the beautiful Malavika. The play is set in the Sunga period and portrays the romantic adventures of Prince Agnimitra. Swapnavasavadatta is by Bhasa and deals with a different story. Meghadoota is a lyric poem by Kalidasa about a yaksha. Ratnavali is also attributed to Kalidasa but does not feature Agnimitra. Malavikagnimitra is the correct answer as it specifically narrates the love story of the Sunga prince. > Malavikagnimitra = Kalidasa's play about Agnimitra (Sunga prince) and Malavika's love story.
