Rasarnavasudhakara 1.55

1.55

nedānīntana-dīpikā kim u tamaḥ-saṅhātam unmūlayej
jyotsnā kiṃ na cakora-pāraṇa-kṛte tat-kāla-saṃśobhinī |
bālaḥ kiṃ kamalākarān dina-maṇir nollāsayed añjasā
tat sampraty api mādṛśām api vacaḥ syād eva samprītaye ||

Does a modern lamp not dispel a mass of darkness? / Does the moonlight not shine at that very moment to break the cakora bird's fast? / Does the morning sun not swiftly open the beds of lotuses? / Therefore, even in the present time, the speech of persons like me must surely bring delight.
