Kalidasa's Meghdoot path is simple despite curves, but 'Tathaapi's' Yaksha path is not only curvy, it's dangerous also. Walking on it, he is free from his slavery. 'Tathaapi' is a prose product of a poet. This is the only poet-sight that could do justice to the novel. Two different times are composed in 'Tathaapi', which takes us to a third time and the third time is as amusing as scalding too.
