Sanskrit Text

मेनका निरनुक्रोशा बन्धकी जननी तव यया हिमवतः पृष्ठे निर्माल्येव प्रवेरिता

English Translation

Dushyanta said : O Shakuntala, I do not know that I begot this child on you. Women generally speak falsehood. Who will believe your words? Your mother is lewd Menaka, destitute of affection; she cast off you in the valley of the Himalayas as one casts off the flowers after offering them to the gods.
