kāryā saikatalīnahaṃsamithunā srotovahā mālinī
pātās tām abhito niṣaṇṇahariṇā gaurīguroḥ pāvanāḥ /
śākhālambitavalkalasya ca taror nirmātum icchāmy adhaḥ
śṛṅge kṛṣṇamṛgasya vāmanayanaṃ kaṇḍūyamānāṃ mṛgīm //
vidūṣaka (ātmagatam) yathāhaṃ paśyāmi pūritavyam anena citraphalakaṃ lambakūrcānāṃ tāpasānāṃ kadambaiḥ /
rājā vayasya anyac ca / śakuntalāyāḥ prasādhanam abhipretam atra vismṛtam asmābhiḥ /
vidūṣaka kim iva /
sānumatī vanavāsasya saukmāryasya vinayasya ca yat sadṛśaṃ bhaviṣyati /

The stream of Malini, and on its sands
The swan-pairs resting; holy foot-hill lands
Of great Himalaya's sacred ranges, where
The yaks are seen; and under trees that bear
Bark hermit-dresses on their branches high,
A doe that on the buck's horn rubs her eye.

King. And another ornament that Shakuntala loved I have forgotten to paint.

Arthur W. Ryder 1912, Shakuntala (in Kalidasa, Translations of Shakuntala and Other Works)

Clown. What?

Arthur W. Ryder 1912, Shakuntala (in Kalidasa, Translations of Shakuntala and Other Works)

Mishrakeshi. Something natural for a girl living in the forest.
