पुष्पैः क्रीडति या बाला पवनश्च वने यया ।
कोरोनाद्यनभिज्ञा सा लोकास्पृष्टा शकुन्तला ॥

The child which is playing with flowers and with whom the wind is
playing in the forest,
she is Shakuntala, innocent in regard to Corona and the like and
untouched by common life.


In order to avoid verbal forms that are not sanctioned by Panini, I have
revised yesterday's verse:

dūrīkṛtāṃ samājāt svāṃ patnīṃ dṛṣṭvā sa socati /
tasyās tu mṛgasaṃsargaṃ prekṣya rāmo hi tuṣyati //

Thanks to Madhav Deshpande for his note on Panini sent off-list.
