Which one of the following books of ancient India has the love story of the son of the founder of Sunga dynasty?
Detailed Explanation:
Answer: Option 2 — Malavikagnimitra
Malavikagnimitra is a classical Sanskrit play written by the renowned poet Kalidasa. It narrates the romantic love story of King Agnimitra, who was the son of Pushyamitra Shunga, the founder of the Sunga dynasty (circa 185 BCE). The play revolves around Agnimitra's love for Malavika, a beautiful maiden in the royal household. Swapnavasavadatta by Bhasa tells the story of King Udayana and Queen Vasavadatta, unrelated to the Sunga dynasty. Meghadoota is Kalidasa's lyrical poem about a Yaksha sending messages through a cloud to his beloved wife. Ratnavali by Harsha is a romantic comedy about King Udayana and Princess Ratnavali, with no connection to the Sungas.
