भविष्यन्नगरोद्यानप्रसूवन्ध्यामलाङ्गिका ।
तस्या जिह्वोच्यमानोग्रकथार्थानुभवोपमा ॥ ३७ ॥

bhaviṣyannagarodyānaprasūvandhyāmalāṅgikā |
tasyā jihvocyamānograkathārthānubhavopamā || 37 ||

It is as vain as a would-be city, with its garden and flowers and fruits growing in it: and as a sterile woman bragging of the valorous deeds of her unborn and would-be sons.
