Shakuntala said : O King, this is your son. Let him be installed as your heir-apparent. O King, this god-like boy was begotten by you on me. O best of men, fulfil now the promise you made of me.
शकुन्तलोवाच अयं पुत्रस्त्वया राजन् यौवराज्येऽभिषिच्यताम्। त्वया ह्ययं सुतो राजन् मय्युत्पन्नः सुरोपमः। यथासमयमेतस्मिन् वर्तस्व पुरुषोत्तम॥
