Both are struck with Kama's arrow in their very first meeting, but each shies away from saying anything because the distance between them seems insurmountable. Even when they do confess their love, magical transformations and heavenly curses keep the lovers apart. Will Pururavas succeed in his quest for Urvashi? A magnificent drama based on an episode from the Rig Veda, VIKRAMORVASHIYAM is filled with dramatic turns of event, music, and dance. The scenes, characters, and dialogues are at once lively and theatrical as well as sensitive and speculative. Believed to be the second of Kalidasa's three plays, VIKRAMORVASHIYAM is an undisputed classic from ancient Indian literature. A.N.D. Haksar's brilliant new translation gives contemporary readers an opportunity to savour this delightful tale. Author: A.N.D.
