Dandi and Kalidasa were contemporary poets in the court of Vikramaditya .
One day the king , sensing Dandi's jealousy towards Kalidasa called the two of them and asked them to verse a one liner of the words " There is a dry tree standing here "
Dandi jumped up to the challenge with a dry staccatto verse - "Shushkovrikshathistatyagre".
Dandi's jealousy died when Kalidasa aesthitically responded with "Neerasataruruhavilasithabimbe".
