इमौ कुमारौ भद्रं ते देवतुल्यपराक्रमौ। गजसिंहगती वीरौ शार्दूलवृषभोपमौ॥ पद्मपत्रविशालाक्षौ खङ्गतूणधनुर्धरौ। अश्विनाविव रूपेण समुपस्थितयौवनौ॥ यदृच्छयेव गां प्राप्तौ देवलोकादिवामरौ। कथं पद्भयामिह प्राप्तौ किमर्थं कस्य वा मुने॥

English Meaning
Good betide you, boasting the prowess of celestials of elephantine or leonine gait, heroic, resembling tigers or bulls, possessed of come expansive eyes like lotus-patals, bearing scimitars and bows and quivers, like to the Aśvins in grace, endowed with youth, like to celestials fancy-led, descended from ethereal regions to the earth beneath, whose sons; O ascetic, are these boys, and what for have they come hither, and why also is it that they journey of foot?
