Rasarnavasudhakara 3.350

3.350

tathā ca śākuntale-
tavāsmi gīta-rāgeṇa hāriṇā prasabhaṃ hṛtaḥ |
eṣa rājeva duṣyantaḥ sāraṅgeṇātiraṃhasā ||

And likewise in the Śākuntala: / "I have been forcibly carried away by the charming melody of your song, / just like king Duṣyanta here by the exceedingly swift antelope."

3.350.p1

[a.śā. 1.5]

3.350.p2

ity atra eṣa ity upakṣipto duṣyanta-praveśaḥ prayogātiśayaḥ |

Here, the entrance of Duṣyanta introduced with 'here is' is dramatic excess.

3.350.p3

prastāvanā-sthāpaneti dvidhā syād idam āmukham | 163

This prelude can be of two kinds: theatrical prologue and introduction. [163]
