Sarvadamana

Sarvadamana is King Dusyanta’s and Shakuntala’s son. He is destined to

become a world emperor, a fate prophesied by Vaikhanasa at the beginning
of the play. He doesn’t appear in the play until the final act, when Dusyanta
visits Marica’s celestial realm (where Sarvadamana was born and raised) and
discovers that the willful, spoiled little boy is his son. Sarvadamana then goes
to Dusyanta’s capital with his reunited parents. In later life he will be called
Bharata, “Sustainer.”
