Journal of Sino‐Western Communications (ISSN 1946‐6188), Volume I, Issue 1 (December, 2009)  Chinese Translation of Kālidāsa’s Ṛtusaṃhāra Luo, Hong (Chinese Center for the Tibetan Studies, Beijing, China) ABSTRACT: The Ṛtusaṃhāra is an earlier composition of Kālidāsa (5th century C.E.), the great poet and playwright of India. It is a collection of poems devoted to the description of the six seasons, i.e., summer (grīṣma), Monsoon (varṣā), autumn (ṣarad), winter, (hemanta), the cold season (śiśira) and spring (vasanta), and the emotions aroused by the shifting of the natural scenes on the part of human being. The Ṛtusaṃhāra is defined as small poem (kaṇḍakāvya) according to the classical poetics. The literal merits of the Ṛtusaṃhāra is not considered as very high comparing with the Raghuvaṃśa, the Kumārasaṃbhava by the same author. However, quite a few of the poems in this pamphlet are very touching and beautiful. We therefore translate the whole text into Chinese in the hope that this composition can be appreciated by more people.
