1.31b1

rājā mandautsukyo 'smi nagaragamanaṃ prati / yāvad anuyātrikān sametya nātidūre tapovanasya niveśayeyam / na khalu śaknomi śakuntalāvyāpārād ātmānaṃ nivartayitum / mama hi

King (sighing). They are gone. And I must go. The sight of Shakuntala has made me dread the return to the city. I will make my men camp at a distance from the pious grove. But I cannot turn my own thoughts from Shakuntala.
