Topic: Shakuntala


  
  Shakuntala
Here, in the ashrama, Shakuntala was worried as news of her husband did not reach her, nor did he send anyone to take her to his palace.
Sage Kanva had brought up Shakuntala as her daughter and hence he decided to send her to her husband, king Dushyanta, where she should be accepted as his queen.
She reached the court of Dushyanta, and a message was sent to the king of the arrival of 'a woman who claimed to be his wife'.

 'Shakuntala' the Masterpiece
Shakuntala lays down a condition that the king should promise to hand over the kingdom to the son born to her and Dushyanta agrees.
Mesmerized by her beauty, he desires to marry her while Shakuntala also is deeply impressed by the sight of the royal dignitary.
Through portraying scenes of Shakuntala's maids teasing her, sage Kanva's far-sightedness, the King's paining for Shakuntala’s love when she is away, Shakuntala's unsullied sense of love, the divine grace which brought about the happy reunion, the playwright presents before us a large canvas on which all the vicissitudes of life are touched upon.
