I am emaciated with

sorrow on account of being an attendant of this king of sporting propensities. Here's a deer; there's a boar ; yonder is a tiger P In this way we have to toil on in the noontide from forest to forest, where in the woods there is no shade in this summer . We have to drink the foul water of the mountain-streams, having an acrid taste by reason of being filled with (dry) leaves. Then we have to swallow down food consisting mainly of flesh roasted on spits, at irregular hours. With joints all strained by running ( after the king) on horse-back, I cannot sleep peacefully even at night. Then at the earliest dawn I am awakened by the rascals, the hunts-men, with their din, while entering the forest. Nor do my troubles end here. A fresh boil has risen upon another. Yesterday while we were lagging behind, the king entering the hermitage after a deer was shown by my ill-luck the hermit's daughter , named Sakuntala. Now he does not think of returning to the city . Last night wore away over his eyes wide awake, thinking of the damsel. What is to be done? Let me visit him who (by this . time) has done his morning duties. [ Walking and look ng about ]. Here comes my friend attended by the Yavana women with bows. in their hands and wearing garlands of wild flowers. Well I Let me stand here as though my limbs have been crippled and maimed ; if thus I may get rest, [ stands leaning on his staf.].

Though desires are not satisfied, yet (the knowledge of) mutual attraction is (itself) gratifying. [ Smiling ] Thus a lover, judging of the feeling of his beloved one by his own desires, is deluded. The affectionate glances she stole at me while directing her eyes towards other object; the slow paces with which she went because of the largeness of her hips; (but appearing to move) in a gait indicative of her amorous sentiment, and what she in anger said to her companion (Priyambada), when she was forbidden with (such words as) "do not go",- all these are (intended) for me. Ha! A lover looks upon ( everything ) to be centred in himself. vidusakah | [ tatheti yastimavalamba sthita eva ] hastau ca padau ca iti hastapadam pranyangatvat inhe ekavadbhavah na prasarati asirvvacanavasare brahmanana daksinahastottolanam prasiddham | vyathitatvat naham hastam uttolayitum samarthah catah bageva iti vanmavam svarthe mavac pratyayah kvacit svarthikah prakrterlingavacananyati- varttante iti bhasyamvacanat klivatvam tena jivayisyami jayati bhavan iti srasirvacanam prayotye ityarthah | napyase iti nyantat jayateh karmani lat "kronjinam gau " iti prakarasya bhave pugagamah | In the presence of the affix fathe final vowels of the roots क़ी, ' and ga is the augment.

Two young hermits are at the gate. King. Admit them without delay. Warder. I will introduce them. [Exit and re-entering with the two young hermits]. This way, holy sirs, this way. Both. [Begin to look at the king]. First.-Oh! His form, though majestic, yet inspires confidence! On it is just what should be in a king, not differing much from hermits. Because:-He too has occupied an Asrama (a stage of life) which is enjoyed by all; and lays up every day (a store of) penance by protecting (the saints); and his too, who has control over his self, is the holy title "saint" having the word at (king) preceding it, which chanted by pairs of bards rises up and reaches the heavens. Second. Gautama, is he Dushyanta, the friend of Indra the slayer of Bala ? First-Yes. Second. Well then,- No wonder that he, with arms long as the iron bar for locking a city-gate, alone rules the whole earth, the blue boundary whereof are the oceans. For, even the gods having contracted confirmed hostilities with the sons of Dity look to his well-strung bow as well as to the thunderbolt of Indra for victory in their wars. [Approaching].

I should like to travel in the same way as a king'sbrother ought to do. King. The disturbance of the hermitage is to be avoided; hence, I am going to send all my retinue with you. Bidushaka.-Well, then I have now become the heir-apparent. King.-[Aside]. This young Brahmin is fickle. He may give out my desire to the females of the harem. Well, let me tell him in this way. [Taking Bidushaka by the hand, aloud]. Friend I am going to the hermitage out of regard for the holy saints. Really I have no liking for the hermit's daughter.
