2.7

śamapradhāneṣu tapodhaneṣu gūḍhaṃ hi dātātmakam asti tejaḥ /
sparśānukūleva sūryakāntās tadanyatejo 'bhibhavād vamanti //
senā yad ājñāpayati svāmī /
vidu vidhvaṃsatāṃ te utsāhavṛttāntaḥ /
(niṣkrāntaḥ senāpatiḥ)
rājā (parijanaṃ vilokya) apanayantu bhavatyo mṛgayāveśam / raivataka tvam api svaṃ niyogam aśūnyaṃ kuru /

There lurks a hidden fire in each
Religious hermit-bower;
Cool sun-stones kindle if assailed
By any foreign power.
