prāhur dvādaśadhā sthitasya munayo yat tejasaḥ kāraṇam
bhartāraṃ bhuvanatrayasya suṣuve yad yajñabhāgeśvaram /
yasminn ātmabhavaḥ paro 'pi puruṣaś cakre bhavāyāspadam
dvandvaṃ dakṣamarīcisaṃbhavam idaṃ tat sraṣṭur ekāntaram //
mātali atha kim /
rājā (upagamyobhābhyām api vāsavaniyojyo duṣyantaḥ praṇamati /
mārīca vatsa ciraṃ jīva / pṛthivīṃ pālaya /
aditiḥ vatsa apratiratho bhava /

Sprung from the Creator's children, do I see
Great Kashyapa and Mother Aditi?
The pair that did produce the sun in heaven,
To which each year twelve changing forms are given;
That brought the king of all the gods to birth,
Who rules in heaven, in hell, and on the earth;
That Vishnu, than the Uncreated higher,
Chose as his parents with a fond desire.

King (falling before them). Dushyanta, servant of Indra, does reverence to you both.

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

Kashyapa. My son, rule the earth long.

Aditi. And be invincible. (SHAKUNTALA and her son fall at their feet.)
