दर्शनं चित्रकूटस्य मन्दाकिन्याश्च शोभने। अधिकं पुरवासाच्च मन्ये तव च दर्शनात्॥
darśanaṃ citrakūṭasya mandākinyāśca śobhane| adhikaṃ puravāsācca manye tava ca darśanāt||
English Meaning
Methinks, O beauteous one, the sight of Citrakuta and of Mandakini is even more delightful than life in the metropolis, or the sight of your own self.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
