5.12
bhavanti naṃrās taravaḥ phalāgamair navāmbubhir dūravilambino ghanāḥ /
anuddhatāḥ satpuruṣāḥ samṛddhibhiḥ svabhāva evaiṣa paropakāriṇām //
pratīhārī deva prasannamukhavarṇā dṛśyante / jānāmi viśrabdhakāryā ṛṣayaḥ /
Fruit-laden trees bend down to earth;
The water-pregnant clouds hang low;
Good men are not puffed up by power
The unselfish are by nature so.
Portress. Your Majesty, the hermits seem to be happy. They give you gracious looks.
