prathamaṃ sāraṅgākṣyā priyayā pratibodhyamānam api suptam /
anuśayaduḥkhāya idaṃ hatahṛdayaṃ saṃprati vibuddham //
sānumatī nanv īdeśāni tapasvinyā bhāgadheyāni /
vidūṣaka (apavārya) laṅghita eṣa bhūyo 'pi śakuntalāvyādhinā / na jāne kathaṃ cikitsitavyo bhaviṣyatīti /
kañcukī (upagamya) jayatu jayatu devaḥ / mahārāja pratyavekṣitāḥ pramadavanabhūmayaḥ yathākāmam adhyāstāṃ vinodasthānāni mahārājaḥ /
rājā vetravati madvacanād amātyam āryapiśunaṃ brūhi / ciraprabodhān na saṃbhāvitam asmābhir adya dharmāsanam adhyāsitum / yat pratyavekṣitaṃ paurakāryam āryeṇa tat patram āropya dīyatām iti /

Alas! My smitten heart, that once lay sleeping,
Heard in its dreams my fawn-eyed love's laments,
And wakened now, awakens but to weeping,
To bitter grief, and tears of penitence.

Mishrakeshi. That is the poor girl's fate.

Clown (to himself). He has got his Shakuntala-sickness again. I wish I knew how to cure him.

Chamberlain (advancing). Victory to your Majesty. I have examined the garden. Your Majesty may visit its retreats.

King. Vetravati, tell the minister Pishuna in my name that a sleepless night prevents me from mounting the throne of judgment. He is to investigate the citizens' business and send me a memorandum.
