Padukasahasra 21.6

21.6

raṅgeśvarasya navapallavalobhanīyau pādau kathannu kaṭhinā svayamudvaheyam |
ityākalayya niyataṃ maṇipāduke tvaṃ padmāstaraṃ vahasi tatpratibimbalakṣāt ||

“How indeed can I, being hard, myself bear the feet
of the Lord of Raṅga, enticing as fresh sprouts?”—
Reflecting thus, O gem sandal, you surely bear
a carpet of lotuses under the guise of their reflection.
