In more recent times,

 

Poet Kalidasa Composed Megha Sandesam ,

 

where he asks the hurrying clouds to take a

 

message to his beloved one in the Northern

 

region. <<<<<<<

 

This implies that Kalidasa's time is after that of Nammalvar and Andal. I

think Kalidasa's time is 400-500 AD or earlier. Andal's time is 800 AD or

later. Nammalvar's time is supposedly 600-700 AD. I do realize that

traditional time of Alvars is Dvaparam(3100 BC and earlier), and early Kali

Yugam; which makes them thousands of years before Kalidasa.
