	1st verse of Kalidasa's Raghuvamsa
		This beautiful invocation is the first verse of the first canto of the great poem, The Raghuvamsa, by the poet and dramatist Kalidasa, who is believed to have lived in the fifth century AD.
		This verse, which invokes the ability to accurately comprehend words and their meanings, is a saluatation to Parvati and Siva, the "parents of the universe," who are inseparable—like words and their meanings.
		So that I might attain right knowledge and understanding of words and their meanings, I worship the parents of the universe, Parvati and Paramesvara (Siva), who are perfectly united just like words and their meanings.

		The Raghuvamsa differs somewhat from the standardised list: Raghu is the son of Dilipa, Dirghabahu being absent; the king Dala is known as Sila; Uktha is absent, and Vajranabha is known as Unnabha; Pushya is absent, and in his place are found Kausalya, Putra and Poushya.
		The sudden ending of Raghuvamsa with Agnivarna lends considerable credence to an Indian traditionwhich holds that the present version is truncated; the original apparently contained twenty-five, and not the nineteen chapters available today.
		The Raghuvamsa records that Bharata obtained a principality in the Indus region.
