क्वचि पद्मसरो सुरूपो क्वचि गिरिसरितालाभो वनः वीराः ।
तापसकुलाश्रमा क्वचि कोकिलशुकमोरपरिगीता ॥ १०५ ॥

kvaci padmasaro surūpo kvaci girisaritālābho vanaḥ vīrāḥ |
tāpasakulāśramā kvaci kokilaśukamoraparigītā || 105 ||

Here, my men, is the rare beauty of the lotus; there the forest is laved by a mountain stream, and there the hermit’s retreat echoes all around to the songs of cuckoos, parrots and peacocks. (105)
