The Recognition of Śakuntalā 3.20

3.20

utsṛjya kusumaśayanaṃ nalinīdalakalpitastanāvaraṇam /
katham ātape gamiṣyasi paribādhāpelavair aṅgaiḥ //
(iti balād enāṃ nivartayati)
śaku paurava rakṣa vinayam / madanasaṃtaptā api na khalv ātmanaḥ prabhavāmi /

Leave not the blossom-dotted couch
To wander in the midday heat,
With lotus-petals on your breast,
With fevered limbs and stumbling feet.

(He lays his hand upon her.)

Shakuntala. Oh, don't! Don't! For I am not mistress of myself. Yet what can I do now? I had no one to help me but my friends.
