Indrajit Pramanik Research Scholar Sanskrit Visva Bharati University, Santiniketan, West Bengal Abstract Kālidāsa has shown his extra-ordinary skill in portraying the child characters. Every child characters is characterised by a little bit child -like liveliness, impudence, curiosity, love for imitation and preoccupation. ‘Abhijn͂ānaśkuntala, is the best play in Sanskrit literature. In the 7th act of the play we meet ‘Sravadamana’ the son of Duhṣanta and Śakuntalā, on the top of Hemkut Mauntain at Tapabana of Maharshi Marich. The dramatist has tried to portray the lustful and vicious king Duḥṣanta as a unique ,great and unblemished King shielding the curse of Durvasa muni. As a result there happens separation between the hero and the heroine. When their minds get purified by the severe fire of separation, the dramatist again has tried to get them united. The child Sarvadamana is a medium to make the effort union fulfilled.
