1.90.32

retodhāḥ putra unnayati naradeva yamakṣayāt |
tvaṃ cāsya dhātā garbhasya satyamāha śakuntalā || 32 ||

"The mother is but the sheath of flesh in which the father begets the son. Indeed the father himself is the son. Therefore, O Dushmanta, support thy son and insult not Sakuntala. O god among men, the father himself becoming the son rescueth himself from hell. Sakuntala hath truly said that thou art the author of this child's being.
