चोदयामास तां सेनां जगामाशु ततः पुरीम्। पताकाध्वजिनीं रम्यां तूर्योद्घष्टनिनादिताम्॥ सिक्तराजपथारम्यां प्रकीर्णकुसुमोत्कराम्। राजप्रवेशसुमुखैः पौरैर्मङ्गलपाणिभिः॥ सम्पूर्णां प्राविशद् राजा जनौघैः समलंकृताम्। घौरैः प्रत्युद्गतो दूरं द्विजैश्च पुरवासिभिः॥ पुत्रैरनुगतः श्रीमाञ्श्रीमद्भिश्च महायशाः। प्रविवेश गृहं राजा हिमवत्सदृशं प्रियम्॥
