The Recognition of Śakuntalā 2.18

2.18

kva vayaṃ kva parokṣamanmatho mṛgaśāvaiḥ samam edhito janaḥ /
parihāsavijalpitaṃ sakhe paramārthena na gṛhyatāṃ vacaḥ //
vidu atha kim /
(iti niṣkrāntāḥ sarve)

A king, and a girl of the calm hermit-grove,
Bred with the fawns, and a stranger to love!
Then do not imagine a serious quest;
The light words I uttered were spoken in jest.

Clown. Oh, I understand that well enough.

(Exeunt ambo.)
