There are two lines in Act III of *Shakuntala*, “You will not leave my heart no matter how far you are away/ the shadow of a tree will not leave the root no matter how long it is before dark”. Many Chinese know and quote them, and this is enough to show the great influence of Kalidasa’s works in China.
