I am happy Camillo mentioned Kalidasa. I would like to add  3 books.

Raghuvamsa of Kalidasa 

A book which which really tells about Indian Culture.

Champu Ramayana of Bhoja.


 Kadambari of Bana Bhatta.



These are the 3 books which even if the same authors, try to write a similar work would  fail.

I would also add the Kathāsaritsāgara - a landmark in the world history of stories.

Two further submissions received to add to the list (thank you to all who have responded):

1.Mahabharata for its general and omnipresent influence on all kinds of cultural and literary creativity.

Note that the Mahābhārata text of the critical Pune edition is (C) BORI and is not meant to be distributed or hosted on other websites.  It is made exclusively available from John Smith's Bombay website.  As the accompanying documentation says, 
The electronic text of the Mahabharata is Copyright (C) The Bhandarkar
Oriental Research Institute (BORI), Pune. This authorised and regularly
updated text is available only via the web page
http://bombay.indology.info/mahabharata/statement.html. Please do not provide
copies of the text to others.


In other words, help yourself, but only from that Bombay website.

This is why the Puna Mbh has never been offered through SARIT.  The text at SARIT is the 1906-1910 edition from Nirnayasagara Press, 
Bombay, "A New Edition Mainly Based on the South Indian Texts, with Footnotes and Readings."



I'm fully aware that the Pune Mbh has long ago escaped into the wild and is offered everywhere.  I think that's a wonderful thing for 
scholarship (though bad for version control).  But it does not reflect the wishes of BORI.  I'm just sayin'



Best,


Dominik
