Abstract

Kalidasa was a greatest poet, writer and playwright of Sanskrit Literature. In all his poetic dramas, the topic of various types of anathemas has been discussed on the portrayal of different characters. Among them ‘Abhigyanshakuntalam’,‘Meghaduta’,‘Raghuvamsham’,‘Kumarasambhavamam’,‘Vikramorvasiyam’ the multiples reconciliation are seen as a result of cursing. This reconciliation is found in separation. Through the way of anathema, the monotony of reunion is transmuted into universality. Besides, the practice of cursing has also observed in the most important sub-genres of Medieval Bengali literature Mangalkavya. In ‘Manasamangal’ and ‘Chandimangal’, the reference of it is noticed in the depiction of different characters such as Kalketu, khullara, Behula, Lakhindar, Madandeb, Maladhar, Ratnamala and so on. They are all cursed and cursed when they have neglected to perform their duties. As a result, they are separated from each other with sadness. In short, anathemata are separation and reconciliation and complementary each other.
