The plea includes a lyrical description of the route the messenger will take and the message itself. The first was the Cloud Messenger, composed by Sanskrit's finest poet, Kali-dasa, in the fifth century CE. This inspired the next, the Wind Messenger, composed in praise of King L�kshmana-sena of Gauda (Bengal) in the twelfth century by Dhoyi, one of his court poets.
