Verse 50.8

ततो धान्यधनोपेतान् दानशीलजनाञ्छिवान्। अकुतश्चिद्भयान् रम्यांश्चैत्ययूपसमावृतान्॥ उद्यानाम्रवणोपेतान् सम्पन्नसलिलाशयान्। तुष्टपुष्टजनाकीर्णान् गोकुलाकुलसेवितान्॥ रक्षणीयान् नरेन्द्राणां ब्रह्मघोषाभिनादितान्। रथेन पुरुषव्याघ्रः कोसलानत्यवर्तत॥

tato dhānyadhanopetān dānaśīlajanāñchivān| akutaścidbhayān ramyāṃścaityayūpasamāvṛtān|| udyānāmravaṇopetān sampannasalilāśayān| tuṣṭapuṣṭajanākīrṇān gokulākulasevitān|| rakṣaṇīyān narendrāṇāṃ brahmaghoṣābhināditān| rathena puruṣavyāghraḥ kosalānatyavartata||

English Meaning

Then that powerful one mounted on his car left behind him Kosala abounding in wealth and kine, inhabited by charitable people, auspicious, free from every kind of fear, charming, containing altars and stakes, with gardens and mango groves, furnished with tanks, teeming with burly and contented people, filled with kine, worthy of being protected by monarchs, and resounding with the sounds of Vedic recitations.
