Abstract

Life is a combination of joys and sorrows. To lead a good life, people refer into great person's lives and their great works. By being physically nearer to great persons, one may be inspired. But he cannot observe all their aspects and follow them fully. If one looks into masterpieces of literature, he can learn many lessons. Mahakayvas and dramas are surely master pieces of literature. Particularly the works of Kalidasa are leading lights of knowledge for humanity. In our life Duties and rights go hand in hand, but great poets have focused on the duties to be performed. It is beneficial to individuals and also to society. Beginining from a peasant upto the king, duty is compulsory. Even lord , the creator is bound by duties. Heroes of Kalidasa's works are kings or noble persons. All were honored for their duties and they were criticized for neglect of their duties. This view is the central theme of kalidasa's works. The duty concept seen in kalidasa's works at the outset is the central point of our study. Dr. N.
