शाङ्गरवः - यन्मिथः समयादिमां मदीयां दुहितरं भवानुपायंस्त तन्मया प्रीतिमता युवयोः अनुज्ञातम्। तदिदानीम् आपन्नसत्त्वा इयं प्रतिगृह्यतां सहधर्मचरणाय इति।
गौतमी - आर्य किमपि वक्तुकामा अस्मि। न मे वचनावसरोऽस्ति । कथम् इति -

एकैकस्मिन्नेव चरिते भणामि किम् एकैकम् ॥

Answer

The King : What is the order of Lord Kanva?
Sharangarava : That "I accept that you married to my daughter with mutual consent. So now accept this pregnant lady for living life happily together."
Gautami : Arya! I want to say something though my words do not carry much importance. He did not expect from elders. Neither you have discussed with kiths and kins. When they behave like this with each other, what can be said?
Shakuntala : (to herself) what will Aryaputra say?

Question 74 Marks

गौतमी - महाभाग नार्हस्येवं मन्त्रयितुम्। तपोवनसंवर्धितोऽनभिज्ञोऽयं जनः कैतवस्य ।
राजा - तापसवृद्धे !
स्त्रीणामशिक्षितपटुत्वमानुषीषु
संदृश्यते किमुत याः प्रतिबोधवत्यः ।
प्रागन्तरिक्षगमनात्स्वमपत्यजातम्
अन्यैर्द्विजैः परभृताः खलु पोषयन्ति ॥
शकुन्तला - (सरोषम्) अनार्य ! आत्मनो हृदयानुमानेन पश्यसि। क इदानीम् अन्यो धर्मकञ्चुकप्रवेशिनः तृणच्छन्नकूपोपमस्य तवानुकृतिं प्रतिपत्स्यते ।

शकुन्तला - सुष्ठु तावदत्र स्वच्छन्दचारिणी कृतास्मि । (इति पटान्तेन मुखमावृत्य रोदीति ।)

Answer

Gautami : O King! You should not speak like this. This poor girl has been brought up in the forest and she is ignorant of any trick or deceit.
The King : O old female saint! The cunningness among the females other than human beings is natural even though they are not taught about it. Then what to speak about cunning women? Cucooks leave their young ones in the nest to be brought up by other birds.
Shakuntala : (with anger) Why do you consider others according to your own imagination? Whoelse can imitate you who is wearing the garb of religion and like a well covered with straw?
The King : O respectful lady! The character of Dushyant is famous.
Shakuntala : Really I am being proved as a wanton here. She cries bitterly.
