The Recognition of Śakuntalā 6.30

6.30

sakhyus te sa kila śatakrator ajayyas
tasya tvaṃ raṇaśirasi smṛto nihantā /
ucchettuṃ prabhavati yan na saptasaptis
tannaiśaṃ timiram apākaroti candraḥ //
sa bhavān āttaśastra evedānīm aindraratham āruhya vijayāya pratiṣṭhatām /
rājā anugṛhīto 'ham anayā maghavataḥ saṃbhāvanayā / atha mādhavyaṃ prati bhavatā kim evaṃ prayuktam /

Heaven's king is powerless; you shall smite
His foes in battle soon;
Darkness that overcomes the day,
Is scattered by the moon.

[paragraph continues] Take your bow at once, enter my heavenly chariot, and set forth for victory.

King. I am grateful for the honour which Indra shows me. But why did you act thus toward Madhavya?
