Kadambari

Kādambarī is a romantic novel in Sanskrit. It was substantially composed by Bāṇabhaṭṭa in the first half of the 7th century CE, who did not survive to see it through completion. The novel was completed by Banabhatta's son Bhushanabhatta, according to the plan laid out by his late father. It is conventionally divided into Purvabhaga written by Banabhatta, and Uttarabhaga by Bhushanabhatta. (An alternate tradition gives the son's name as Pulindabhatta.)
