yad yat sādhu na citre syāt kriyate tat tad anyathā /
tathāpi tasyā lāvaṇyaṃ rekhayā kiṃcid anvitam //
sānumatī sadṛśam etat paścāt+tāpaguroḥ snehasyānavalepasya ca /
vidūṣaka bhoḥ idānīṃ tisras tatrabhavatyo dṛśyante / sarvāś ca darśanīyāḥ /
katamātra tatrabhavatī śakuntalā /

What in the picture is not fair,
Is badly done;
Yet something of her beauty there,
I feel, is won.
