💡 Solution & Explanation
Mudrarakshasa is a political drama composed by Visakhadatta detailing Chanakya's stratagems to install Chandragupta Maurya on the throne. Mrichchhakatika is a celebrated Sanskrit play authored by Shudraka depicting urban life and romance. Malavikagnimitra and Meghaduta were composed by the master poet Kalidasa. Bhasa authored plays such as Svapnavasavadatta rather than Meghaduta. Classical Sanskrit literature reached its zenith during the Gupta and post-Gupta epochs through these enduring works.
