5.15

tvam arhatāṃ prāgrasaraḥ smṛto 'si naḥ
śakuntalā mūrtimatī ca satkriyā /
samānayaṃs tulyaguṇaṃ vadhūvaram
cirasya vācyaṃ na gataḥ prajāpatiḥ //
tad idānīm āpannasattveyaṃ pratigṛhyatāṃ sahadharmacaraṇāyeti /

You are the best of worthy men, they say;
And she, I know, Good Works personified;
The Creator wrought for ever and a day,
In wedding such a virtuous groom and bride.

[paragraph continues] She is with child. Take her and live with her in virtue."
