Dhūtā: an ideal Indian female character Abstract Vasantasenā is the prime female character in the play Mṛcchakaṭika of Śūdraka, of but the importance of Dhūtā, wife of Cārudatta, is in no way less important. In the entire story her little presence can be felt. She excels as an ideal wife. Such a gem like her is certainly rare in a family. Being a wife of a poor Brahmin she remained without any jewellery. She was always in a mundane and ordinary lifestyle. Generally, a woman doesn't approve of the relationship between her husband with another woman, but Dhūtā is an exceptional female character here. For the sake of happiness of her husband she has sacrificed everything. She has considered her husband's happiness as her own. This is the way dramatist Śūdraka portrayed the role of Dhūtā in an extraordinary manner and made himself famous.
