7.18

evam āśramaviruddhavṛttinā saṃyamaḥ kim iti janmatas tvayā /
sattvasaṃśraya sukho 'pi dūṣyate kṛṣṇasarpaśiśuneva candanaḥ //
tāpasī bhadramukha na khalv ayam ṛṣikumāraḥ /

Your conduct in this place apart,
Is most unfit;
’Twould grieve your father's pious heart
And trouble it. To animals he is as good
As good can be;
You spoil it, like a black snake's brood
In sandal tree.

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

Hermit-woman. But, sir, he is not the son of a hermit.
