M. N. Dutt: He invited her to come to him and that faultless featured beauty too accepted his invitation. They then passed many days in each others' company. Sporting with each other, they passed many years and thought that it was but only a day. That Rishi begot Shakuntala on her. Menaka went to the banks of the river Malini which passed playfully through the beautiful valley of the Himalaya mountains and there she gave birth to a daughter. She then left the child there (on the banks of the river) and went away. Thus having been successful in her mission, she soon returned to Indra. Some vultures, seeing that the child lay in the deep forest abounding in lions and tigers, sat round it to protect it from harm, so that no carnivorous animals might take her life. The vultures protected the life of Menaka's child. I had gone there to perform my ablutions. I saw the child lying. In the deep solitude of the forest, surrounded by the vultures. Bringing her here, I have made her my daughter. According to the scriptures, the maker of the body, the protector of life and the giver of food, these three, are in their order considered to be fathers. |
