 THE PLAY

The play begins with a satirical debate between Guru Parivrajak and his disciple Shandilya. The Saint believes in the soul alone, and the disciple in the  material things and beauty. Courtesan Vasantsena, along with her friend Madhukarika, enters the garden to meet her lover. Shandilya is attracted towards Vasantsena. A yamdoot, in the guise of a snake, bites Vasantsena and she dies. Shandilya weeps for her, and Guru, out of compassion for his disciple, puts his own soul in Vasantsena’s body and she lives again….but, she is no longer herself…she behaves like Parivrajak! What follows, shakes up the beliefs of both the Guru and his disciple.
