The Recognition of Śakuntalā 2.16

2.16

anukāriṇi pūrveṣāṃ yuktarūpam idaṃ tvayi /
āpannābhayasatreṣu dīkṣitāḥ khalu pauravāḥ //
rā (sapraṇāmam) gacchatāṃ puro bhavantau / aham apy anupadam āgata eva /
ubhau vijayasva (iti niṣkrāntau)
rā mādhavya apy asti śakuntalādarśane kutūhalam /
vidu prathamaṃ saparivāham āsīt / idānīṃ rākṣasavṛttāntena bindur api nāvaśeṣitaḥ /

Thou art a worthy scion of
The kings who ruled our nation
And found, defending those in need,
Their truest consecration.

King. Pray go before. And I will follow straightway.

The two youths. Victory, O King! (Exeunt.)

King. Madhavya, have you no curiosity to see Shakuntala?

Clown. I did have an unending curiosity, but this talk about the powers of evil has put an end to it.
