The Recognition of Śakuntalā 2.87

Shakuntala (in Kalidasa, Translations of Shakuntala and Other Works) 2.87

Language: English

2.87

First youth (looking at the king). A majestic presence, yet it inspires confidence. Nor is this wonderful in a king who is half a saint. For to him
The splendid palace serves as hermitage;
His royal government, courageous, sage,
Adds daily to his merit; it is given
To him to win applause from choirs of heaven
Whose anthems to his glory rise and swell,
Proclaiming him a king, and saint as well.
