ana halā śakuntale anabhyantare khalv āvāṃ madanagatasya vṛttāntasya / kiṃ tu yādṛśītihāsabandheṣu kāmayamānānām avasthā śrūyate tādṛśīṃ tava paśyāmi /

Anusuya. Shakuntala dear, you have not told us what is going on in your mind. But I have heard old, romantic stories, and I can't help thinking that you are in a state like that of a lady in love. Please tell us what hurts you. We have to understand the disease before we can even try to cure it.
