Verse 23

¹⁹That best of women took him, whose valour none could get past, born of a portion of a portion of Hari, and came near to her husband. ²⁰When the king would not take his wife and son, who were without blame, a voice with no body to it spoke out of the sky, and every being heard it. ²¹The mother is the bag; the son is the father's; the one by whom he was begotten is himself the son. Bear up your son, Dusmanta, and do not slight Sakuntala. ²²The son who comes of a man's seed carries him out of Yama's house, god among men; and you are the one who set this child in the womb. Sakuntala has told the truth. ²³When his father died he became an emperor of great renown, and his greatness is sung on the earth, for he was born of a portion of Hari.
