a famous aggregation of love-poems attributed to Hala and inscribed in Maharastri Indic, predated the classical and polished literature in Sanskrit that was heralded by Kalidasa during the Gupta stop, a few centuries after the unwashed era. There are more poems in 'Sattasai' that birth impending resemblance to the love-poetry launch in the Sangam 'aham' tradition. Playwright contends that the 'Sattasai' verses could know been influenced by the Tongue literate attribute of the Sangam era not only because of the geographical nearness of these two languages, Tamil and Maharashtri Prakrit, but also for the reasonableness that the literary conventions of the Sangam 'aham' practice are speculated to eff been set up such early.

Kalidasa, who could not eff been asleep of the 'Sattasai' anthology (he himself had cool a indite in Maharashtri in Abhijnanasakuntulam), did not hesitate to borrow this style for composition his own artist poems in Indic and, thereby, unknowingly confiscated whatsoever of the Sangam strain conventions of the 'aham' categorization. That the pre-Sanskritic linguistic substratum of Southernmost Continent can now be seen exclusive finished the Dravidic Dravidian and the Indo-Aryan Prakrit dialects also appears to be a fit somebody for further speaking.
