3.7

stananyastośīraṃ praśithilamṛṇālaikavalayam
priyāyāḥ sābādhaṃ kim api kamanīyaṃ vapur idam /
samas tāpaḥ kāmaṃ manasijanidāghaprasarayor
na tu grīṣmasyaivaṃ subhagam aparādhaṃ yuvatiṣu //
priyaṃvadā (janāntikam) anasūye tasya rājarṣeḥ prathamadarśanārabhya paryutsukeva śakuntalā / kiṃ nu khalv asyās tannimitto 'yam ātaṅko bhavet /
ana sakhi mama apīdṛśy āśaṅkā hṛdayasya / bhavatu / pravakṣyāmi tāvad enām (prakāśam) / sakhi praṣṭavyāsi kim api / balavān khalu te saṃtāpaḥ /
śaku (pūrvārdhena śayanād utthāya) halā kiṃ vaktukāmāsi /

With salve upon her breast,
With loosened lotus-chain,
My darling, sore oppressed,
Is lovely in her pain. Though love and summer heat
May work an equal woe,
No maiden seems so sweet
When summer lays her low.

Priyamvada (aside to ANUSUYA). Anusuya, since she first saw the good king, she has been greatly troubled. I do not believe her fever has any other cause.

Anusuya. I suspect you are right. I am going to ask her. My dear, I must ask you something. You are in a high fever.

Shakuntala (half rising.) Well, say whatever you like.
