They secretly marry, but Dushyanta is forced to leave Sakuntala to return to his kingdom. Sakuntala gives birth to his child, but when Dushyanta returns to claim his wife and child, he does not remember Sakuntala or their marriage due to a curse. Sakuntala is heartbroken and returns to the forest, where she is reunited with Dushyanta and their child only after a series of trials and tribulations. The play explores themes of love, loss, memory, and redemption. This edition of the play was translated into English by Arthur W.
