Abhijnana Sakuntalam, a drama composed in seven Acts by Kalidasa, is one of the
best not only in Sanskrit literature, but in the literature of the world. The
story was already in Mahabharata in the form of a dull narrative; but, Kalidasa
turned the same into an elegant work of art with a lot of innovations. Love in
union and love in separation are both depicted in this drama with a greater
degree of perfection. The dramatic power and poetic beauty of this unique work
have elicited the highest praise and admiration from the scholars all over the
world.
