The young Sankara was wise,
And his behavior very nice.
He earned others’ appreciation
With all his love and affection.

With his men was guarding
The place of fire sacrifice
With no untoward incidence.

Sage Viswamithra came down
Taking leave from Indran,
He felt, “Out of my dislike
For Vashista, I had to speak.”

Sakuntala slightly reprimanded,
And from her friends demanded
An apology for their impertinence
To question on queens in the palace.

The friends of Sakuntala,
Anusuya and Pryamvada,
Brought flowers from garden
As their daily routine.
...
The palace guard chief,
Caught hold of a thief
Tied his hands behind
And at him, he shouted.

I asked the hot Sun,
'Oh, you mighty one,
Why you rise in the East
And set in the West? '
...
Look thro' a glass Yellow,
Everything appears Yellow.
And thro' a dark glass,
So dark an object looks.

They were newly married couple,
A few days went on with no trouble.
As days passed on, he never turned,
While for his love, her heart yearned.
...
Thunderbolt! Thunderbolt!
Of tons of T.N.T..
All his commandents heard,
As the Lord of Death roared.
