Concatenation, that is, the linking of successive verses of a poem by the repetition of the same or similar words, has been discussed by several scholars in relation to Vedic and Prakrit poetry, but other than a ground-breaking article published by W. Schubring in 1955, it has been insufficiently studied in classical Sanskrit kāvya . This article argues that a particular form of concatenation, involving long-distance word repetition across as many as five or even ten verses, is characteristic of the works of Kālidāsa in particular but also of Sanskrit poets in general. Like Schubring’s article, this one focuses on the Meghadūta, but uses a broader definition of scope of concatenation.

Kālidāsa 和其他梵文诗人的串联

串联，即通过重复相同或相似的词来连接一首诗的连续诗句，一些学者已经讨论过与吠陀和普拉克里特诗歌有关的问题，但 W. Schubring 发表的一篇开创性文章除外1955年，在古典梵文kāvya中研究不足。本文认为，一种特殊的串联形式，涉及多达五句甚至十句的长距离重复单词，是 Kālidāsa 作品的特征，但也是梵文诗人一般的特征。与 Schubring 的文章一样，这篇文章侧重于 Meghadūta，但使用了更广泛的串联范围定义。
