yathā śākuntale, priyaṃvadā-halā sauṃdale ! ettha ebba dāva muhuttaaṃ ciṭṭha | jāba tue ubagadāe ladā-saṇāho bia aaṃ kesara-rukkhao paḍibhādi | [halā śakuntale, atraiva tāvan muhūrtaṃ tiṣṭha | yāvat tvayopagatayā latā-sanātha ivāyaṃ kesara-vṛkṣakaḥ pratibhāti |]
As in the Śākuntala, Priyaṃvadā: “Friend Śakuntalā! Just stand right here for a moment, so that with you near it, this kesara sapling looks as though it is entwined with a creeper! [Friend Śakuntalā, just stand right here for a moment, so that with you near it, this kesara sapling looks as though it is entwined with a creeper!]”

śakuntalā-ado khu piaṃbadāsi tumaṃ | [ataḥ khalu priyaṃvadāsi tvam |] [1.18 padyāt pūrvam] | atra priyaṃvadāyāḥ priya-bhāṣaṇād idaṃ nāma-dheyam ity uktir niruktiḥ |
Śakuntalā: “That is truly why you are Priyaṃvadā (one who speaks pleasingly)! [That is truly why you are Priyaṃvadā!]” [Preceding verse 1.18]. Here, because of Priyaṃvadā’s pleasant speech, the statement that ‘this is her name’ is nirukti.
