About this ebook
Kalidasa was a classical Sanskrit writer, widely regarded as the greatest poet and dramatist of the Sanskrit language. Nothing much is known about his life and neither can his works be dated with precision. Historians believe that Kalidasa authored works in the 4th or 5th century CE.
Kalidasa wrote three plays. Among them Abhinanasakutalam is recognized as a masterpiece. This story tells the story of Shakuntala, who was brought up in a simple hermitage and went on to marry King Dushyanta.
Kalidasa borrowed this story from Veda Vyasa - the writer of the Mahabharatha.
This is the retelling of the story of Shakuntala as written by Veda Vyasa.
