1885 INDIAN Epic ÅšAKOONTALà Lost Ring Shakuntala AbhijñÄnaÅ›Äkuntala MAHABHARATA



“Śakoontalá; or The Lost Ring: An Indian Drama” is a translation by Monier Williams of Kálidasás “AbhijñÄnaÅ›Äkuntala”. It narrates Shakuntalas life, a character from the ancient Indian epic “Mahabharata”. She falls in love with King Dushyanta, marries him, and receives a ring as a promise of his return. But a sages curse causes Dushyanta to forget her, and the ring gets lost. Shakuntala retreats to the forest, raises their son Bharata alone. Upon finding the lost ring, Dushyantas memory is restored, leading to a reunion with his forgotten family. This tale has had a significant impact on Indian literature and culture, symbolizing the power of love and destiny.
