Hamsa-Sandesha
''Hamsa-Sandesha'' (Sanskrit: ; IAST: ) or "The message of the Swan" is a Sanskrit love poem written by Vedanta Desika in the 13th century AD. A short lyric poem of 110 verses, it describes how Rama, hero of the ''Ramayana'' epic, sends a message via a swan to his beloved wife, Sita, who has been abducted by the demon king Ravana. The poem belongs to the ', ‘messenger poem’, genre and is very closely modeled upon the ''Meghaduta'' of Kalidasa. It has particular significance for Srivaishnavites, whose god, Vishnu, it celebrates.

The ''Hamsa-Sandesha'' owes a great deal to its two poetic predecessors, Kalidasa's ''Meghaduta'' and Valmiki’s ''Ramayana''. Vedanta Desika's use of the ''Meghaduta'' is extensive and transparently deliberate;〔Compare for instance the identical position of ' at the end of a line in ''Meghaduta'' 1.2 and Hamsa-Sandesha 1.1〕 his poem is a response to one of India’s most famous poems by its most celebrated poet. Vedanta Desika’s debt to Valmiki is perhaps more pervasive but less obvious, and possibly less deliberate too. Where the poet consciously plays with Kalidasa’s verse, he treats the ''Ramayana'' more as a much-cherished story. Nevertheless he is clearly as familiar with the details of Valmiki’s poem as with Kalidasa’s, and he echoes very specific images and details from the epic.〔Compare for instance ''Ramayana'' 6.5.6 and ''Hamsa-Sandesha'' 2.40〕
