Sakoontala; Or, The Lost Ring: An Indian Drama by Kālidāsa
"Sakoontala; Or, The Lost Ring: An Indian Drama" by Kālidāsa is a Sanskrit play from around the 4th century CE. When King Duṣyanta encounters the innocent Śakuntalā in a forest hermitage, their secret marriage sets off a chain of fateful events. A sage's curse causes the king to forget his bride, and a lost ring becomes her only hope for recognition. Years pass as their lives diverge, but destiny has plans of
its own for the separated lovers and the son born of their union. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
