Explanation

Kalidasa wrote three plays: Malavikagnimitra (earliest), Vikramorvasiyam (middle period), and Abhijnanasakuntalam (mature masterpiece). Swapnavasavadatta is by Bhasa, and Kadambari is a prose romance by Banabhatta. The question asks which two were composed BEFORE Abhijnanasakuntalam, so the correct pair is Malavikagnimitra and Vikramorvasiyam.
