The Recognition of Śakuntalā 1.18

Shakuntala (in Kalidasa, Translations of Shakuntala and Other Works) 1.18

Language: English

1.18

Why should his tender form expire,
As blossoms perish in the fire?
How could that gentle life endure
The deadly arrow, sharp and sure? Restore your arrow to the quiver;
To you were weapons lent
The broken-hearted to deliver,
Not strike the innocent.
