Which of the following literary works belongs to classical Sanskrit literature?
(A) Dhammapada
(B) Vedas
(C) Meghadutam
(D) Dighanikaya
Answer: (C) Meghadutam (cloud messenger) is a lyric poem written by Kalidasa, considered to be one of the great est Sanskrit poets. In Sanskrit literature, the poetic conceit used in the Meghadutam spawned the genre of Sandesh kavya or messenger poems, most of which are modelled on the Meghaduta (and are often written in the Meghaduta’s mandakranta meter)
