Verse 1.75

हिमान्ते पश्य सौमित्रे वृक्षाणां पुष्पसम्भवम्। पुष्पमासे हि तरवः संघर्षादिव पुष्पिताः॥ आह्वयन्त इवान्योन्यं नगाश्च षट्पदनादिताः। कुसुमोत्तंसविटपाः शोभन्ते बहु लक्ष्मण॥

himānte paśya saumitre vṛkṣāṇāṃ puṣpasambhavam| puṣpamāse hi taravaḥ saṃgharṣādiva puṣpitāḥ|| āhvayanta ivānyonyaṃ nagāśca ṣaṭpadanāditāḥ| kusumottaṃsaviṭapāḥ śobhante bahu lakṣmaṇa||

English Meaning

Behold O Saumitri, the origination of flowers in the trees at the expiry of the winter. The trees as if viewing with each other, have blossomed in this season of flowers. The trees, O Lakşmaņa, with bees humming around and with flowery branches are as if welcoming each other.
