समामवृक्षां निर्गुल्मामुदक्प्रस्रवणान्विताम्। तस्यां भूमौ बलिं चक्रे तिथौ नक्षत्रपूजिते॥ अवघुष्टे समाजे च तदर्थं वदतां वरः। रङ्गभूमौ सुविपुलं शास्त्रदृष्टं यथाविधिः॥ प्रेक्षागारं सुविहितं चक्रुस्ते तस्य शिल्पिनः। राज्ञः सर्वायुधोपेतं स्त्रीणां चैव नरर्षभ॥ मञ्चांश्च कारयामासुस्तत्र जानपदा जनाः। विपुलानुच्छ्रयोपेतान् शिबिकाश्च महाधनाः॥
