Which of the following was not written by Kalidas?

The correct answer is B. Laghujatakam.

Kalidasa was a Sanskrit poet, dramatist, and court poet of India who flourished in the 4th or 5th century CE. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest Sanskrit literary figures. His works include the epics Raghuvamsa and Kumarasambhava, the lyric Meghaduta, and the plays Abhijñānaśākuntalam and Vikramorvasiyam.

Laghujatakam is a Sanskrit astrological treatise attributed to Kalidasa. However, there is no evidence that Kalidasa actually wrote this work. It is more likely that it was written by a later author who was trying to imitate Kalidasa’s style.

The other three options, A, C, and D, are all works that are definitely known to have been written by Kalidasa.

A. Kumar Sambhavam is an epic poem about the birth of Kumara, the son of Shiva and Parvati.

B. Meghdootam is a lyrical poem about a cloud messenger who is sent by his love to her husband, who is away on a military campaign.

C. Raghuvansham is an epic poem about the life of Raghu, the ancestor of Rama, the hero of the Ramayana.
