O handsome maiden, I tell you the truth. You deserve all this. I promise to do what you ask. So saying, the royal sage, (Dushyanta) married the beautiful Shakuntala of graceful walking, according to the due rites; and she accepted him as her husband. He returned to his capital after assuring her of his promise. He repeatedly told her, “I shall send for you my troops of the four sorts. O beauty of sweet smiles, it is thus (with all honour). I shall take you to my capital."
यथा त्वमर्हा सुश्रोणि सत्यमेतद् ब्रवीमि ते। एवमुक्त्वा स राजर्षिस्तामनिन्दितगामिनीम्॥ जग्राह विधिवत् पाणावुवास च तया सह। विश्वास्य चैनां स प्रायादब्रवीच पुनः पुनः॥ प्रेषयिष्ये तवार्थाय वाहिनीं चतुरङ्गिणीम्। तया त्वां नाययिष्यामि निवासं स्वं शुचिस्मिते॥
