"The Little Clay Cart [Mṛcchakaṭika]" by Sūdraka is a ten-act Sanskrit drama possibly from the 5th century CE. Set in ancient Ujjayini, it tells the story of Cārudatta, a noble but impoverished Brahmin, who falls in love with Vasantasenā, a wealthy courtesan. Their romance faces danger when a vulgar courtier aggressively pursues Vasantasenā. The play blends love, comedy, and political intrigue while breaking tradition by focusing on fictional characters rather than mythology and featuring peasants speaking various dialects.
