In the original story of Sakuntala, as told in the Mahabhratha, there is no ring. Sakuntala appears in Dushmanta's court with their son and requests Dushmanta to declare him the heir to his throne, as he had promised her, before their gandharva vivāham. Though Dushmanta very much remembers their encounter (and thus recognises legitimacy of the claim), he still pretends not to remember and asks her provocative, insulting questions in his court. But he is ' being cruel only to be kind '. For, this sets the dramatic stage for a fine articulation of her case by Sakuntala, which ends in the divine voice from the sky, declaring her to be true and for Dushmanta to accept her and their son. And then, Dushmanta tells his courtiers that he always knew but his word would have been insufficient proof to the court. We are of course, more aware of the storyline of KāLidāsa's play abhijñānasākuntalam, where the poet made significant departures. The elevation of the 'word/memory
I'm ignorant about the correct usage of prepositions.

One other trait compulsive 'mathlab' interspersing in a failed attempt to make the conversation more meaningful.
'Only' requires a separate essay.
"Now only you came-A ?" , while being a linguistic curiosity in itself is on a whole new plane in terms of pardonability than the monstrosity you quote. That is because in the former case it is a question of words being twisted to local syntax. But in the case of "first match only" it is a clear case of violating the dignity of the relationship between a word and their meaning.
