Sakuntala; Or Sakuntala Recognized By The Ring: A Sanskrit Drama In Seven Acts is a classic play by the ancient Indian poet Kalidasa. The story revolves around the love between King Dushyanta and Sakuntala, a beautiful young woman who lives in a forest with her father, the sage Kanva. The two fall in love and secretly marry, but when Dushyanta is called back to his kingdom, he gives Sakuntala a ring as a symbol of his love and promises to return for her. However, when Sakuntala arrives at the palace to be reunited with her husband, he does not recognize her and she is forced to prove her identity with the help of the magical ring. The play explores themes of love, duty, and the consequences of actions. It is considered one of the greatest works of Sanskrit literature and has been adapted into various forms of art, including dance, music, and film.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
