Shakuntala and Dushyanta fell in love with each other and got married.

Dushyanta is said to have ruled, either directly or through his governors, from Gandhara ( present day Kandahar in Afghanistan ) to the Vindhyas and beyond, and from Sindhu, ( present day Pakistan ) to Vanga, ( present day Bangladesh ).

The ring is found by a fisherman who recognizes the royal seal and returns it to Dushyanta, who regains his memory of Shakuntala and sets out to find her.

Horrified, Shakuntala's companions managed to mollify Durvasa, who softened the curse, saying that Dushyanta would remember Shakuntala when he saw the ring that he gave her as a token of their love.

One day, a powerful rishi, Durvasa, came to the ashrama but, lost in her thoughts about Dushyanta, Shakuntala failed to greet him properly.
