 Kalidasa: Shakuntala and Other Works: The Two Minor Dramas: I.--Malavika And Agnimitra
As the seat of empire was in Patna on the Ganges, and as Agnimitra's capital is Vidisha--the modern Bhilsa--it seems that he served as regent of certain provinces during his father's lifetime.
The rival monarch had imprisoned a prince and princess, cousins of Agnimitra, and in response to Agnimitra's demand that they be set free, he declares that the princess has escaped, but that the prince shall not be liberated except on certain conditions.
For though there is in Agnimitra, as in all heroes of his type, something contemptible, there is in Malavika a sweetness, a delicacy, a purity, that make her no unworthy precursor of Sita, of Indumati, of the Yaksha's bride, and of Shakuntala.

 Sunga Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This work was composed by Kalidasa in the later Gupta period, and romanticized the love of Malavika and King Agnimitra, with a background of court intrigue.

Agnimitra used to hold his court in the city of Vidisa, modern Besnagar in Eastern Malwa.

 Cover Story
Agnimitra who is the hero of the drama Malavikagnimitra was not a well-known monarch to deserve special notice by Kalidasa.
It is clear that Kalidasa flourished after Agnimitra (150 BC) and before AD 634, the date of the famous Aihole inscription which refers to Kalidasa as a great poet.
If the suggestion that some verses of Mandas or inscription of AD 473 assume knowledge of Kalidasa’s writings is accepted, then his date cannot be later than the end of the fourth century AD.

At the end of the third act of this play king Agnimitra talks to his wife, Iravati.
The queen sweeps away from him after some arguments and Agnimitra’s friend and courtier, Gautama, advises him to make haste and move away from the place before Iravati retraced her steps like the planet Mars in retrograde.
A forced simile, in the context of the play, perhaps, but testifying to Kalidasa’s interest in the skies and to the fact of retrograde motions of planets having been minutely observed and recorded in his times.

 The Hindu : Entertainment Delhi / Theatre : An erotic tale aesthetically told
Translated from Sanskrit into Hindi by Bhagvat Sharan Upadhyay, "Malavikagnimitram" on the surface deals with the infatuation of King Agnimitra for Malavika, an accomplished dancer and a slave girl.
Agnimitra's first encounter with Malavika is through her depiction in a painting, which make him desperate to see this beauty in flesh and blood.

 DESI - ARTICLE (Bhartiya Scriptures)
In the drama Malavikagnimitra, King Agnimitra's father, Pushyamitra is regularly referred to as senapati (commander-in-chief) by all the characters.
We now know that Pushyamitra was the commander-in-chief of the last Maurya emperor, Brhadratha before he usurped the throne in 185 BC; he later abdicated in favour of his son, Agnimitra.
It is quite likely that he continued to play his old role and was called by his old title even after Agnimitra became king.

Most of them, however, are either by lesser poets bearing the same name or by others of some intrinsic worth, whose works simply chanced to be associated with Kaalidaasa's name their own names having long before ceased to be remembered.
PLAYS There are three plays, the earliest of which is probably the Malavikaagnimitra (Malavikaa and Agnimitra), a work concerned with palace intrigue.
It is of special interest because the hero is a historical figure, King Agnimitra, whose father, Pushhpamitra, wrested the kingship of northern India from the Mauryan king Brihadratha about 185 B.C. and established the Sunga dvnasty, which held power for more than a century.

 Article by Suprava Mishra - www.artindia.net
In this type of sringar the lovers have a deep attraction towards each other but they cannot unite due to some obstruction, it may be due to their parents or some heavenly reasons.
For example in Kalidas's "Malavika Agnimitra" the love between Malavika & Agnimitra is ayoga sringar because Malavika is merely a dancer in the king Agnimitra's kingdom.
Here Agnimitra was the king and Malvika was just a dancer but the King show his love towards her and between their love king's to queens Dharini and Iravati stood as obstruction.
