v3.c35.s8.76

"Was will man denn vergnüglicheres wissen !
Sakontala, Nala, die muss man küssen;
Und Megha-Dūta, den Wolkengesandten,
Wer schickt ihn nicht gern zu seelenverwandten¹ !"
"What more pleasant, shall we know,
Than Śakuntalā, Nala, that we must kiss;
And Megha-Dūta, the cloud-messenger,
Who is there who will not like to send him to his soul !"
