Some scholars, including M. Srinivasachariar and T. S. Narayana Sastri, believe that works attributed to "Kālidāsa" are not by a single person. According to Srinivasachariar, writers from 8th and 9th centuries hint at the existence of three noted literary figures who share the name Kālidāsa. These writers include Devendra (author of ''Kavi-Kalpa-Latā''), [[Rajashekhara (Sanskrit poet)|Rājaśekhara]] and Abhinanda. Sastri lists the works of these three Kalidasas as follows:<ref name="MS_1974_multiple">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4dVRvVyHaiQC&pg=PA112 |title=History of Classical Sanskrit Literature |author=M.
