Kalidasa

Now, that quote is actually commonly circulated as the salutation of dawn.

It's often attributed to the Kalidasa, even though the historical attribution is disputed, but putting that aside for a second, look at the meaning inside the episode.

Again, see how Hal lived in yesterday and John lived in tomorrow, neither one of them knows how to live for today.

And unfortunately, Hal dies before he ever figures that out.

Boar.

The story of Shakuntala is told from the English prose translation of that drama of Kalidas, The Shakespeare of India, by Charles Wilkins, published at the request of Warren Hastings in seventeen eighty-five.

The cultural achievements of the Gupta period were equally impressive.

Kalidasa was the most important writer of the era, known for plays that combined humor with epic heroism and profound emotional intensity.

His works elevated literature to new heights.

Poetry and romantic comedies became major literary forms, and artists of this period created works of extraordinary beauty.

What else did we learn? Nirvikara, be confident.

Nirvikara.

Uh, it is, uh, the immutable, unchangeable consciousness.
