Language: Sanskrit

प्रफुल्ल-चूताङ्कुर-तीक्ष्ण-सायको

मनांसि भेत्तुं सुरत-प्रसङ्गिनां
वसन्त-योद्धा समुपागतः प्रिये ! ॥ [ ६ / १ ]

द्रुमाः सपुष्पाः सलिलं सपद्मं
स्त्रियः सकामाः पवनः सुगन्धिः ।
सुखाः प्रदोषा दिवसाश्च रम्याः
सर्वं प्रिये ! चारुतरं वसन्ते ॥ [ ६ / २ ]

कुन्दैः सविभ्रम-वधू-हसितावदातै-
रुद्द्योतितान्युपवनानि मनोहराणि ।

प्रागेव राग-मलिनानि मनांसि यूनाम् ॥ [ ६ / २५ ]
