[Then enter by a celestial car the king seated on the car, and Matali.] King. - Though I have executed the orders of Indra, yet because of the extreme honour (done to me by him), think myself unworthy (of it.) Matali. - [With a smile] Long-lived prince, I think both of you to be without satisfaction. On account of the honour (done) by Indra, you think your service to be insignificant; and he too struck with wonder at your exploits attaches no value to the honour shown by himself. The honour done to me at range of even the wildest half his seat, in the very King.-No Matali, don't say so. the time of taking leave is beyond the expectation. For, on me, seated on presence of the gods, was put the garland of Mandara flowers, with the yellow sandal rubbed off from his breast as its mark or distinction, by Indra himself who smiled at seeing his own son · Jayanta, sitting near him, have an inward longing for the garland. Matali. What does not your Majesty deserve at the hands of the lord of the immortals? See-the heaven of the pleasure-loving

Indra has been made free from the thorns of demons by two things viz. by the nails of the man-lion in the days of yore ; and now by your arrows having even and plain joints. King. In this matter the greatness of the performer of hundred sacrifices is to be praised. That servants succeed even in important matters, know that to be result of the majesty of the masters themselves.

This is quite proper (for you). [Traversing a little distance ]. Long-lived Prince, see hence the glory of your fame established on the surface of heaven. Yonder gods, thinking of a composition full of meaning,-and capable of being set 'to music, do write your exploit on clothes of (canvas spread out by) the Kalpa creepers, with colours, the remains of the painting dye of the beau ties of heaven. King. Anxious as I was yesterday, for the fight with the demons, while ascending the heaven, I did not mark its path. In what region of the winds do we move now? Matali. They call it, the region or path of the wind named Parivaha, purged from all evil by the second stride of Hari;-the

NOTES-ACT VII. 277 same Parivaha that bears the three-streamed river situated in the heaven; and causes the planets and stars to nove (in their own orbits), having scattered their rays (far and wide). King. Hence it is, Matali, that my soul with the external as well as the internal senses becomes calm and delighted-[Looking at the wheel of the car]. We have descended to the sphere of the clouds. Matali. How do you know that? King. This car of yours, with the tire of its wheels wet with minute watery particles speaks of its passing over clouds with their inside full of water, by means of the Chataka birds flying through the openings between the spokes of the wheels; and by the horses of Indra glistening with the flash of lightning. Matali-In a little while the long-lived Prince will be in his own dominion, the earth. King.-[Looking downwards). Matali, the region of human beings is seen to have a wonderful appearance, by reason of (our) descent with rapidity. For so, the earth descends as it were from the top of hills rising up (and appearing to view).-The trees, from the appearance of their stems, are leaving off the state of being concealed within their leaves. The rivers, the waters whereof disappeared by reason of attenuation, (again) get their distinctness on account of their (growing) expansion. And behold, the earth is being brought, as it were, to my side by some one hurling it up. Matali.-Well observed ! [Looking with admiration]. Oht Grand and beautiful is the Earth. King-Matali, what is that mountain which having plunged into the eastern and western oceans, appears like a bank of evening clouds, emitting molten gold as it were? Matali.-long-lived Prince, this is the hill of the Kimpurushas, named Hemkuta, the land of the fulfilment of the fruits of penance . See, the progenitor of the gods and demons, who sprung from Marichi-the son of the selfbegotten Brahma, practises penance here with his wife.

King.-Therefore this occasion of ( earning ) good must not be passed by. I wish to go after having walked round the holy sage. Mutali.-"An excellent idea!

The car, stopping it as you are, from its not having touched the surface of the earth, is not perceived to have come down, though it has descended. Matali. Such is the difference between the long-lived prince and Indra, the performer of hundred sacrifices. King. Matali, in what part is the hermitage of Maricha ? 1 Matali -[Pointing with his hand]. Where yonder sagemotionless as the stem of a tree, with his frame half sunk in an ant-hill, with a serpent's cast off skin coiling round his breast ; pressed hardly in the neck by a coil of the fibres of a withered creeper, and holding (in the head) a mass of clotted hair descending down to the shoulders, and filled with the nests of birds,stands facing the solar orb. King.-I bow to you, the practiser of hard penances. Matali. - [Holding in the reins of the car.] Great king, we are entering the hermitage of Maricha (the lord of creation), the Mandara trees wherein have been reared by Aditi. King.-This is a place of happiness superior to heaven. I am plunging into a lake of nectar, as it were. Matali.-[Stopping the car]. Let the long-lived Prince get down. King-[Alighting.] Matali, what will you do now ?

Matali.-The car has been stopped. I too will get down. [ Doing the same.] This way, long-lived Prince. (Walking ). Let the groves of penance of the holy sages here be seen by you. King.-Indeed ! I see with wonder. In a forest where there: are the desire-fulfilling trees, (the sages) are accustomed to supporting life by air; the act of bathing for holy purposes is performed in water yellow with the pollen of golden lotuses; (sitting) on precious stones pious meditation is practised, and (even) in the vicinity of celestial nymphs, self-restrained is resorted to. These sages practise austerities in a place which other sages aspire to by means of penance. Matali. The aspiration of the great is soaring indeed. [Walking, - in the air] Vridhha Sakalya, what is the holy sage Maricha doing? Do you say that being asked by Dakshayani regarding the duties of a chaste wife, he is telling (them) to her along with the wives of the great sages? King. - [Listening ] We must wait for an opportunity (to the end of) this subject of discourse. Matali. - [Looking at the king] . Let your Majesty wait at the foot of this Asoka tree, while I should be seeking an opportunity for repoting you to the father of Indra. King.-As you think ( proper ). - [Stands at the foot of the tree ]. Matali.-Long-lived Prince, I depart.

How! You have assumed your own nature. King. - [Listening ]. This is not a place for wantonness. Who can be this who is being forbidden (thus)? [Looking in the direction of the sound, with wonder]. Who is this boy followed by two female hermits, having strength not like that of a boy? He drags by force, for the purpose of playing, a whelp which has half sucked from its mother's breast; and has its mane ruffled and disordered by reason of rough handling. [Then enter a child engaged as described, with two female hermits.] Boy. - Open your mouth, you lion, I will count your teeth.

NOTES-ACT VII. 287 . First woman. Naughty child, why do you provoke these animals having no difference from our own children? Ah ! there your anger is increasing! That you have been named Sarvadamana, (the tamer of all), by the hermits is quite proper. King. Why does my mind feel affection for this boy as for a son born of my own heart? Surely the state of being without an issue causes me to feel affection for (it). Second woman.-This lioness would surely come down upon you, if you do not release her cub. Boy [With a smile] Oh! Greatly indeed have I been terrified! [Pouts his lower lip.] King. To me this boy seems to be the germ of great prowess like fire remaining in the state of a spark, waiting for fuel. First woman. My child, leave this young lion; I will give you some other thing to play with. Boy. Where is it? Give it to me. [Extends his hand]. King-What! The sign of a paramount sovereign is borne by him! For so, his hand, stretched for getting the object of temptation, with its fingers sticking close to one another like a web, shines like a single lotus with the interstices between its petals not to be seen, blown by the early dawn of glowing lustre (colour). Second.-Subrata, he is not to be dissuaded by words alone. Go and bring for him from my cottage the earthen peacock painted with (differnt) colours, beloning to the hermit-boy Markandeya . First. very well [Exit]. Boy.-Till then I shall play with it. [Laughs, looking at the hermit-lady]. King.-I like this boy, naughty though he is.

NOTES-ACT VII. 291 Hermit-lady.-Well! He pays no attention to me. [Looking about]. Any one here of the young hermits? [Seeing the king]. Good sir, please come and release this young lion, who is being teased by this boy, in his boyish play,-with a grasp of the hand hard to unloose. King-[Approaching with smile]. O you son of a great saint, why do you, with a course of conduct contrary to the practices of the hermitage, defile, from your very childhood, the virtue of self-control, which is beneficial, and a refuge, as it were, to all creatures; even as a young one of the cobra does defile the Sandal. Hermit-lady. Good sir, he is not a hermit's son, - King. His action, worthy of his frame, tells it. But from a consideration of the place he is now in, so did we surmise. [Doing as requested, and feeling the touch of the boy, aside). If such is my pleasure being touched in the body by this boy, a scion of the family of some unknown person, what joy must he create in the mind of that fortunate person from whose body he has sprung! Hermit-lady.-[Observing both]. Wonderfu!! Wonderful! King. Noble lady, what can it be? Hermit-lady.-Your person resembles the form of this boy; hence it is that I have been astonished. He has become submissive to you though you are a stranger to him. King.-[Caressing the boy]. If he is not a hermit's son, what, then, is his family? Hermit-lady.-The race of Puru. King. [Aside]. What! Of the same family with me! Hence, indeed, does this lady think him to have resemblace to me. Of the descendants of Puru, this is the family-practice in old age. To them who choose at first to stay in house abounding in pleasures, for the sake of the protection of the earth, the foot of trees. becomes, in old age, a house, where only the vow of ascestics is resorted to. [Aloud]. But this is not accessible to men by their own power.

Hermit lady. As your reverence says. The mother of the boy from her relation to an Apsara, has given birth to him in this grove of penance of the father of the gods. King-[Aside]. Ah! This is another support to my hopes. [ Aloud]. What is the name of the royal saint whose wife she is ? Hermit-lady-Who ever cares to think of mentioning the name of that disowner of his own lawful wife? King.-[Aside] This story alludes to me. Well, If I ask the name of the mother of this boy; or it is dishonourable to ask about another's wife. tapasi | sakuntasya paksinah mrttikamayurasya ityarthah lavanyam ramaniyatvam | ubhe | namrah sakuntaleti srakhyayah sadrsyam tena | dvitiya | bhanitah kathitah | raja | namamavasya prastavah ullekha, mrgatrsnika maricika pipasaurikha, mama visadaya cetaso bhangaya kalpate | valah | me mahyam rucyarthanam priyamana iti caturthi | bhadrah ramaniyah, sundarah iti yavat mayurah | [ krida़nakam krida़ाdravya ] | prathama | raksakarandakam, raksa karanda eva iti raksakarandakam, kvacit svarthikah prakkrteh lingavacananyativarttante ityuktah klivatvam | "karando madhukosa syat votikakhajrakosayoh " iti raghavabhattastatakosah | raksakarandakam racavitika | ammahe iti vismaye avyayam - "vismaye ama he amma nityam svaubhih prayujyate iti bharatah | ubhe | avalambeprati alam yogat kvolyap upasargapurvatvat | [ urasi nihitah hastah yabhyam te uronihitahaste ] | prathama | jatasya balakasya karma iti jataka samskaravisesah | tathaca manuh prannabhivarddhanat ( cchedanat ) pumso jatakarma vidhiyate | raja | viniyiा vikarah sarpabhavah | apratyaksam pratyaksam krta iti pratyaksikrta | ubhe | anekavaran | raja | manoratham putravisayakam abhilasam purna saphalam santam katham na abhinandami manorathavisayibhutam imam valam katham na sralinganadina abhinandami | [parisvajate alingati ] | hitoya | niyame prositabhartrkaya acaritavya sracare, brate ityarthah vyaprta niyukta tayem | kriyagrahanamapikarttavyamiti saspradane caturthi |

Sarvadamana, look at the beauty of the bird ( Sakunta). Boy. - [ Glancing round]. Where is my mother? ( Mistaking the word sakunta for Sakuntula his mother.] Both.-Devoted as he is to his mother, he has been deceived by the similarity of name. Second.-You have been told, child,-"Look at the beauty of the earthen peacock." King.-[Aside], Is "Sakuntala" his mother's name? But then there are similarities of names. Is then this mention of the name to tend, like the mirage, to my despondency and gloom? Boy.-Mother, this beautiful peacock is agreeable to me. [Takes the toy.] First. -[Looking with anxiety]. Alas! the amulet [lit. the scroll of creeper for protection] is not seen on his wrist. King.-Don't be anxious. Here is it fallen from the wrist on account of wrestling with the cub of a lion. [Wishes to pick it up]. Both. Don't take it up. Why ! He has already taken it up !

[Both look at each other with astonishment, having placed their hands on their chest] King. Why have we been forbidden? First.-Listen, good sir. This is a herb, named Aparajita, given by the holy sage Maricha at the time of his natal ceremony. Excepting his parents, and himself, none takes it up when fallen on the ground. King. If some one takes it up? Both. Then becoming a serpent, it bites him. King-Have you ever seen its transformation? Both, Several times. King. With joy, aside] Why shall not I, then, hail my heart's wish entirely fulfilled? [Embraces the boy]: Second. Suvrata, come, let us inform Sakuntala, engaged in her vow, of this matter. [Exeunt]. Boy.-Leave me, I will go to my mother. King. My child, you will greet your mother with me. Boy, Dushyanta is my father; not you. King.-[With a smile]. This dispute, or contradiction itself convinces me. [Then enter Sakuntala, with her hair woven into a single braid] Sakuntala.-Hearing the amulet of Sarvadamana to be in its natural state, even at the time of transformation, I had hardly any hope about my good fortune. Or, as Sanumati reported it, it may be possible. King-[Looking at Sakuntala] Ah! This is that very lady Sakuntala, who of stainless character, with her face emaciated on account of the vow, wearing cloths brown with dust and holding a single braid of the hair, observes the long vow of [occasioned by] separation from me, a most heartless wretch. Sakuntala.-[Seeing the king pale with remorse] He is indeed not like my husband; who then can he be that defiles, with the contact of his body, my boy, to whom the auspicious amulet has been given?

NOTES - ACT VII. ' 297 Boy. - [Going to his mother]. Mother, here is a certain person who embraces me, calling me his son. King. My love, even the cruelty shown to you has had a favourable termination, since I find myself now recognised by you. Sakuntala. - [Aside ). Breathe freely my heart.

Fair one, though the word "victory" is prevented (from being uttered) by tears; yet I am victorious; since I have seen your face with ruddy lips, though unadorned. Boy. - Mother who is he? Sakuntala.- Ask your destiny, my child. King.-[Falling at Sakuntala's feet ] Oh you of beautiful form, let the sorrow of repudiation go out of your heart. At that time some strange, powerful derangement of my mind took place. The conduct of men, under a powerful darkness of delusion towards good and auspicious objects is generally of this nature. A blind man shakes off even a garland thrown on his head, apprehending it to be a serpent. Sakuntala.-Get up, my husband. Surely some act done formerly, obstructing (my) good luck, was in those days, about to yield (its) fruit for which reason, my husband, though kind, became unfeeling towards me. [The king rises up].

NOTES-ACT VII. 301 Sakuntala.-How did my husband remember this miserable person ? King.-I will tell it, when I have removed the shaft of grief ( from my heart). Fair-formed one, I shall be without remorse, by wiping away to day those tears resting on (your) curved eyelashes, which gathering in drops and giving pain to your lower lip were at first looked upon with indifference by me through delusion. [Does as said ]. Sakuntala.-[Seeing the ring]. This is the same ring, my husband. King.-On getting this ring, ( the power of) recolloction was rgained. -Sakuntala. - A ( serious) mischief had been done by fit, in that it was not to be got at the time of convincing my husband. King - Let, then, the creeper bear flower asja, sign of ( its) union with the ( vernal) season. Sakuntala. - I can not trust it.

NOTES ACT VII. A 31-1 marica | tathapi amara uhake priyasambada srabana kara'iba | e sthane ke cha he ? Matali. Thus do the great lords of creation show their favour, King. Revered sir, having married this lady, the obeyer of your commands, accroding to the Gandharva form, and disowning her, through loss of memory, when she was brought (before me) after some time by her relations, I have offended against the reverend sage Knwa, (who is) of the same family with you. Afterwards at the sight of this ring, I knew his daughter to have been married before (by me). This seems strange to me. The change or illusion of my mind is of the same kind as (to say) that this is no elephant, when an elephant is present with his form before the eye; to have doubts when he is passing (out of sight); and to have firm belief on seeing the foot-prints. Maricha. My child, away with (any) supposition as to your being in the fault. This mental delusion was quite justified in you. Listen. King. I am attentive. Maricha. At the very moment when Menaka, after having descended to the Apsarasthirtha, came to Dakshayani, leading Sakuntala with grief manifest on her, I knew by meditation that this poor wife, the joint performer of religious observances, had been repudiated by you because of the curse of Durbasa , and not otherwise. That imprecation (was ordained to have its) termination at the sight of the ring. King.-[Drawing the deep breath] Now I am cleared of blame! Sakuntala.-[Aside]. Luckily my husband did not disclaim (me) without reason. But I don't remember myself to have been cursed. Or (it might be), the curse was given, but was not known by me whose heart was distracted by separation for I was advised by my friends that the ring was to be shown to (my) husband. Maricha. My child, you have become aware of the matter. Now you should not, therefore , feel resentment against your husband,-the joint performer of (your) religious duties. See,-you were disowned, when your husband was harsh on account of the

Over him left as he is (now) by the:darkness of forgetfulness, yours alone is the mastery. No image falls on the surface of a mirror, the transBut on a clean parency of which has been impaired by dust. obstruction of his memory by the reason of the curse. (surface) it has an easy scope. King. As your reverence says. - Maricha. Have you, my son, welcomed this child born of Sakuntala, whose natal ceremony was done by us in proper form? King-Holy sage, in him has my family (found) a stay. Maricha. Know him, who will so turn out, to be the (would be) paramount ruler (of the earth). Behold,-he, a matchless hero, would ere long conquer the earth with the seven islands, having crossed the seas in a car of gentle motion without jerks and resisHere (in this hermitage) he is (called) Sarvadamana, from (his) overawing all creatures by force; but he will get the name of Bharata from his supporting the world. King. We hope all in him of whom the rites have been done by your holy reverence. Aditi.-Holy sage, let Kanwa too be made to hear the details of this fulfilment of the wishes of (his) daughter. Menaka, who dotes on her daughter, is present here attending (on us). Sakuntala.-[Aside]My heart's wish has been given utterance to by her reverence. Maricha. All this is present before the (mental) eye of his reverence, by reason of (his) power of penance. King. Hence the sage is not very angry with me. Maricha.
