मुक्ताविद्रुमचित्रैश्च मणिकाञ्चनभूषितैः॥ ध्वजैराभरणैश्चित्रैः कवचैश्च हिरण्मयैः। वैजयन्तीपताकाभिः परिस्तोमाङ्गकम्बलैः॥ विमलैर्निशितैः शस्त्रैर्हयानां च प्रकीर्णकैः। जातरूपमयीभिश्च राजनीतिभश्च मूर्धसु॥ गजानां कुम्भमालाभिर्दन्तवेष्टैश्च भारत। सबलाकाः सखद्योताः सैरावतशतह्रदाः॥ अदृश्यन्तोष्णपर्याये मेघानामिव वागुराः।
