Gauḍīya
Translation
Śakuntalā, the best of beautiful women, along with her son, whose strength was insurmountable and who was a partial expansion of the Supreme Lord, then went to her husband, Duṣmanta.
Personal Guidance
Śakuntalā brings the son — a partial expansion of the Godhead — to her husband Duṣmanta. Devotional persistence eventually presents the truth to the very person who tried to forget it.
Reflection Questions
- Where am I avoiding a truth being patiently brought back to me?
- Whose persistent return to my door am I called to honor rather than refuse?
