Language: Sanskrit

3.21

gāndharveṇa vivāhena bahvyo rājarṣikanyakāḥ /
śrūyante pariṇītās tāḥ pitṛbhiś cābhinanditāḥ //
śaku muñca tāvan mām / bhūyo 'pi sakhījanam anumānayiṣye /
rājā bhavatu / mokṣyāmi /
śaku kadā /

For many a hermit maiden who
By simple, voluntary rite
Dispensed with priest and witness, yet
Found favour in her father's sight.
Arthur W. Ryder 1912, Shakuntala (in Kalidasa, Translations of Shakuntala and Other Works)
