The Recognition of Śakuntalā 3.22a1

3.22a1

śaku (ātmagatam) hṛdaya prthamam eva sukhopanate manorathe kātarabhāvaṃ na muñcasi / sānuśayavighaṭitasya kathaṃ te sāṃprataṃ saṃtāpaḥ / (padāntare sthitvā / prakāśam) latāvalaya saṃtāpahāraka āmantraye tvāṃ bhūyo 'pi paribhogāya / (iti duḥkhena niṣkrāntā śakuntalā sahetarābhiḥ)

Shakuntala (weakly rising. To herself). Oh, my heart, you delayed when your desire came of itself. Now see what you have done. (She takes a step, then turns around. Aloud.) O bower that took away my pain, I bid you farewell until another blissful hour. (Exeunt SHAKUNTALA and GAUTAMI.)
