The Recognition of Śakuntalā 5.44

Shakuntala (in Kalidasa, Translations of Shakuntala and Other Works) 5.44

Language: English

5.44

Do leaguèd powers of sin conspire
To balk religion's pure desire?
Has wrong been done to beasts that roam
Contented round the hermits' home?
Do plants no longer bud and flower,
To warn me of abuse of power?
These doubts and more assail my mind,
But leave me puzzled, lost, and blind.
