Shatakatraya 3.41

3.41

sā ramyā nagarī mahān sa nṛpatiḥ sāmanta-cakraṃ ca tat
pārśve tasya ca sā vidagdha-pariṣat tāś candra-bimbānanāḥ |
udvṛttaḥ sa rāja-putra-nivahas te vandinas tāḥ kathāḥ
sarvaṃ yasya vaśād agāt smṛti-pathaṃ kālāya tasmai namaḥ ||

That charming city, that great king, and that circle of vassal lords, / that assembly of cultured men at his side, and those women with faces like the orb of the moon, / that haughty throng of princes, those bards, and those stories: / homage to that Time under whose sway all has passed into the path of memory!
