Ryder's translation of Sakuntala

For those of you who would like to compare translations of Sakuntala, Arthur Ryder's especially lyrical version is available at Project Gutenberg. You might find his Wikipedia biography of interest as well, especially the comment of his student, J. Robert Oppenheimer.

For an impression of the living practice of ancient Sanskrit theatre, look into the art of Kerala's Koodiyattam.
