The Recognition of Śakuntalā 5.8

5.8

niyamayasi vimārgaprasthitān āttadaṇḍaḥ
praśamayasi vivādaṃ kalpase rakṣaṇāya /
atanuṣu vibhaveṣu jñātayaḥ santu nāma
tvayi tu parisamāptaṃ bandhukṛtya prajānām //
rājā ete klāntamanasaḥ punar navīkṛtāḥ smaḥ / (iti parikrāmati)
pratihārī eṣa abhinavasaṃmārjanasaśrīkaḥ saṃnihitahomadhenur agniśaraṇālindaḥ / ārohatu devaḥ /

Let but the monarch wield his threatening rod
And e'en the guilty tremble; at his voice
The rebel spirit cowers; his grateful subjects
Acknowledge him their guardian; rich and poor
Hail him a faithful friend--a loving kinsman.

KING.

Weary as I was before, this complimentary address has refreshed me.

[Walks on.

WARDER.

Here is the terrace of the hallowed fire-chamber, and yonder stands the cow that yields the milk for the oblations. The sacred enclosure has been recently purified, and looks clean and beautiful. Ascend, Sire.
