What to speak of setting an arrow to the bow! With the roaring-like sound of his bow-string he, removes all impediments ( the demons ). I will deliver to the sacrificial priests these (bundles of) kusagrass for strewing on the sacrificial altar. [Walking and looking about in the air] Priyambada, for whom do you bring that ointment of usira and those lotus-leaves with lotus-stalks? [Acting as if he heard something]. What do you say? For cooling the body of Sakuntala, who is very much indisposed for being exposed to the sun. Go then quickly. She is the life of our holy chief Kanwa.

[Feeling the pangs of love. ] God of flowery shafts! lovers are deceived by you and the Moon; though you are deserving of confidence (as harmless-) Because, that your arrows are made of flower and that the rays of the moon are cold do not appear true to men in my position. (To us) the moon pours down fire through cold-rays; and you make your flowery arrows hard as adamant. God of love, you have no pity on me. Whence is this sharpness of your, being, as you are, of flowery shafts ? [ Reflecting ]. Oh! I see. Surely the fre of the wrath of Hara (Siva) burns even now in you, as the submarine fre in the ocean : otherwise, how could you, O God of love, (literally, the tormentor of mind),-of whom ashes were the only

remains, could be thus hot to men in my condition ? [ walking]. Now the sacrificial rites being over and the superintending priests having given me leave, where shall I rest my wearied limbs? [Sighing]. What else is my refuge than the sight of my beloved one? I will seek her. [Looking at the sun]. This part of the day when heat becomes intense, she generally passes with her attendants in the arbours made of creepers on the bank of the MaliniI will go there. [Walking and feeling a breeze]. How charming is this spot with its sweet breeze! The gentle breeze fragrant with lotuses and charged with the sprays of the rippling Malini may be closely embraced by (my) burning limbs. [Walking a little further and looking about). Sakuntala must be here in this grove of creepers enclosed by canes. For At the entrance, where there is ( plenty of) white sand, there are seen fresh foot-steps faintly impressed in front, but deeply towards the heel, on account of the heaviness of her hips.. I will see through the opening between the branches. [Walking a few steps and doing the same,-with joy]. Ah! Now I have got the full bliss of my eyes. Here is the beloved of my heart lying on a slab of stone covered with flowers, attended by her two companions. Well, I will listen to the conversation they are making confidently. and without reserve.

King-Sakuntala appears to be seriously indisposed. Can it be the injurious consequence of heat or what passes in my mind ? [Reflecting] away with doubts.

Her frame, with the usire over the bosom and one loose (withered) bracelet of lotus-stalks (on an arm ), is languid, yet it is indes. cribably charming. True that the pain of love and that of heat are alike, but with regard to youthful women the offence of (caused by) heat is not so charming. ► priyamvada | [ nanantikam ] sa rajarsih eva nimittam yasya sa tannimittah tace takah yavadbhah vyadhih pida़ा iti yavat tankate ranpurvvat bhave ghanm | gurosa halah iti sutrena apratyayasya praptau vahulakat ghan | anasuya | [prakasa ]] valavat iti sabdat iyasuni matorluk | vinmatorluk | sakuntala | [ purvvana puspasayyamudasya purvakayamuttilya ] vaktumkamah yasyah sa| tuma kamamanasiriti makaralopah | utpurvvat as dhatoh lap udasya vihaya ityarthah | anasuya | nasti abhyantaram yayoh te anabhyanyare ajnatatatvam | parampayryopadese syat aitihyamitihavyayam ityamarah | itiha paramparyyopadesah paste vidyate asmin iti srasa dhatoradhikarane ghan | itihasa nivandhesu | itihase ye nivandhah bhakhyanadayah tesu vikaram rogam paramarthatah svarupatah ajnatva pratikarasya arambhah na bhavati | roga khalu tattvajnah nirupya tadupasamanartham bhesajam vyavahiyate | raja | madiyah tarkah anasuyamapi anugatah yaeva me samsayah saeva anasuya - hrdaye samutthitah | naham svasya abhiprayena abhilasanusarena pasyami | nedam me'numanamamulaka mitibhavah | sakuntala | [ atmagatam ] abhinivesah bhagrahatisayah | naham vyadhikaranam vadisyami iti me stheyana- bhiprayah | idanimapi sampratamapi sakhibhyam jnatumistah pida़ाheturavasya vaktavyah ; tathapi sahasa prakasayitu na parayami | yadda abhinivesah pragrahatisayah kathane iti sesah | vyadhikaranam sakhibhyam nivedayitum samutsukasmi ; tabhyanca idana prstasmi ittha m samprapte'pi samucite avasare naham vaktum samartha | mahati lajjo mam- vadhate khalu | iti vyakhyanam | priyamvada | divase divase ini anudivasa ( vausayem avyayibhavah ) parihiya se iti jahateh karmani prayogah ; karmakarttari va | lavanyamayau lavanyatmika, tadatma mayat muktaphalesu chayayah taralatvamivantara pratibhati da yadangesu

Without knowing the disorder in its real nature, there could be no application of remedy. King. My suspicion has come across Anasuya's (mind). I have not inferred, then, according to the bent of my own mind. Sakuntala.[Aside ] I am intent on ( not telling or telling the

cause.) Even now (though they have asked me ) I cannot all of a sudden tell it to them. Priyambada.-What Anasuya says is very true. Why do you neglect your own indisposition?

Anasuya. What you say is quite true. Priyamboda - [Aloud]. Friend, luckily your love is worthy of you. Where else will a large river flow into than the ocean?

King. Good lady do not omit to mention it. For if what one wishes to say is not spoken one may have to repent for it. Priyambada-That the suffering of distressed persons living in your domain should be removed is a duty of you, kings. King.-Nothing higher than this. Priyambada. Well then, this dear companion of ours has been reduced to this state for you by the God of love. It behoves you, then, to save her life by showing kindness to her. King. - Good lady, this request is mutual. I am favoured by it. Sukuntala.[Looking at Priyambada.] Friend, what is the use of troubling this king who is pining away in separation from the ladies of his harem?

Or, O fair one of thighs like the back of the fore-arm, placing your feet ruddy as budding lotuses on my lap, shall I caress them gently, for your comfort? Sakuntala. No, I will not make myself an offender in respect to those who deserve my respect. [Rises and wishes to go). = King. Fair maid, the day has not yet drawn to it close; and the state of your health is such. How can you leave this flowery bed with its covering of lotusleaves for your bosom to walk in the sun with your lims exhausted by pain? [Forces her to turn back]. Sakunta la.-Check-your indecorum, O you descendant of Puru, though I am afflicted with love (for you), yet I am no mistress of myself. King-Ah! you timid maiden, don't be afraid of your superiors. The chief of the hermits, the reverend Kanwa, who knows well the customs, will find no fault in the matter. And we have heard it said that the daughters of many a royal sage were married (in secret) with mutual consent (of the lovers), and that they were welcomed and blessed by their fathers. Sakuntala.-Leave me, I will again honour my friends; (i. .go to them.) King. Well, I will leave you. Sakuntala-When? King. When my thirsty self will have drunk the nectar of your tender unbitten lower lip like a bee sipping the honey of a fresh blown flower..
