The Recognition of Śakuntalā 5.7

5.7

prathamaḥ svasukhanirabhilāṣaḥ khidyase lokahetoḥ
pratidinam athavā te vṛttir evaṃ vidhaiva /
anubhavati hi mūrdhnā padapa tīvram uṣṇam
śamayati paritāpaṃ chāyayā saṃśritānām //

FIRST HERALD.

Honour to him who labours day by day
For the world's weal, forgetful of his own;
Like some tall tree that with its stately head
Endures the solar beam, while underneath
It yields refreshing shelter to the weary.
