The Recognition of Śakuntalā 7.42

Shakuntala (in Kalidasa, Translations of Shakuntala and Other Works) 7.42

Language: English

7.42

Their appetites are fed with air
Where grows whatever is most fair;
They bathe religiously in pools
Which golden lily-pollen cools;
They pray within a jewelled home,
Are chaste where nymphs of heaven roam:
They mortify desire and sin
With things that others fast to win.
