यदिन्द्रो वर्षते वर्षे न तच्चित्रं भविष्यति। आदित्योऽसौ सहस्रांशुः कुर्याद् वितिमिरं नभः॥ चन्द्रमा रजनी कुर्यात् प्रभया सौम्य निर्मलाम्। त्वद्विधो वापि मित्राणां प्रीतिं कुर्यात् परंतप॥

O mild one, that 'whatever is graceful, should be harboured in you is not strange.* *The commentator in his usual way of reading between the lines, says that the sense is—That you had gathered forces for serving your friend, is not strange. O placid one, it is well. I give the sense the śloka naturally yields.
