latādir, yathā padyāvalyāṃ (295)-
tulasi vilasasi tvaṃ malli jātāsi phullā
sthala-kamalini bhṛṅge saṅgatāṅgī vibhāsi |
kathayata bata sakhyaḥ kṣipram asmāsu kasmin
vasati kapaṭa-kandaḥ kandare nanda-sūnuḥ //

Creepers and the like, as in the Padyāvalī (295): / O tulasī, you flourish; O jasmine, you have blossomed; / O land-lotus, you shine with limbs embracing the bee; / tell us quickly, alas, O friends: in which cave / does the son of Nanda, that root of trickery, dwell?
