1.26

anuyāsyan munitanayāṃ sahasā vinayena vāritaprasaraḥ /
sthānād anuccalann api gatveva+punaḥ pratinivṛttaḥ //
pri (śakuntalāṃ nirudhya) halā na te yuktaṃ gantum /
śaku (sabhrūbhaṅgam) kiṃ nimittam /
pri vṛkṣasecane dve dārayasi me / ehi tāvat / ātmānaṃ mocayitvā tato gamiṣyasi (iti balād enāṃ nivartayati)

Though nurture, conquering nature, holds
Me back, it seems
As had I started and returned
In waking dreams.
