Inhaltsangabe

Shakuntala Recognized is a translation of the Sanskrit play, Abhijyanashakuntalam, by the great poet and playwright Kalidasa. As a poet of mellifluous charm and as a master of Simile, he indulged in Sringara Rasa (Eros)the sensuous aspects of human condition. This play is perhaps his most powerful expression of that sensuality. Extolled by Goethe, and German Romanticists and others, the play uniquely weaves a magical fabric of life with the threads of human frailties and tragedies. The plot for this play is based on a tale in the Indian epic Mahaabhaarata. The tale depicts how India came to be called Bharatavarsha or Bharat, a name that is still official in the Indian languages.
