The Recognition of Śakuntalā 3.15

3.15

tapati tanugātri madanas tvām aniśaṃ māṃ punar dahaty eva /
glapayati yathā śaśāṅkaṃ na tathā hi kumudvatīṃ divasaḥ //
sakhyau (vilokya saharṣam utthāya) svāgatam avilambino manorathasya /
(śakuntalābhyutthātum icchati)

Nay, Love does but warm thee, fair maiden,--thy frame
Only droops like the bud in the glare of the noon;
But me he consumes with a pitiless flame,
As the beams of the day-star destroy the pale moon.

PRIYAMVADÁ AND ANASÚYÁ.

[Looking at him joyfully and rising to salute him.

[[S']AKOONTALÁ makes an effort to rise.
