Abstract

Abhinjanasakunthala is a world famous kavya in Sanskrit literature. In this paper, I make an observation of the character of Dushyantha and Sakuntala, who are described as rich in virtue in this kavya, and set an example to the best couples all over the world. Here we can see the the genius of Kalidasa and the male-dominated society of that time, using his characters to adapt the needs of a society.
