Book Summary
About the Book: Vikramorvasiyam (Urvashi and Pururavas)

Malavikagnimitra. But the most debated portion of the play is Act IV where the
hero, distracted by separation, gives vent to his feelings in short, sweet and
pathetic lyrics. It is not a long narrative or descriptive poem which can be
read with chosen intervals or breaks. With a true dramatic instinct
