आदीप्तानिव वैदेहि सर्वतः पुष्पितान् नगान्। स्वैः पुष्पैः किंशुकान् पश्य मालिनः शिशिरात्यये॥ पश्य भल्लातकान् बिल्वान् नरैरनुपसेवितान्। फलपुष्पैरवनतान् नूनं शक्ष्याम जीवितुम्॥
ādīptāniva vaidehi sarvataḥ puṣpitān nagān| svaiḥ puṣpaiḥ kiṃśukān paśya mālinaḥ śiśirātyaye|| paśya bhallātakān bilvān narairanupasevitān| phalapuṣpairavanatān nūnaṃ śakṣyāma jīvitum||
English Meaning
O Vaidehi, behold these flowering trees, the Kinsukas in spring appearing engarlanded with their own flowers, and as if flaming., Do you behold the Bhallatakas and Bilvas bending beneath their fruits and flowers, with no man to enjoy them. Surely, we: shall be able to live here.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
