Verse 7.3.42

जनस्याज्ञस्य दीनस्य विविधद्वन्द्वसंकटा ।
सारम्भा विविधाकारा हृद्येव ग्राममण्डली ॥ ४२ ॥

janasyājñasya dīnasya vividhadvandvasaṃkaṭā |
sārambhā vividhākārā hṛdyeva grāmamaṇḍalī || 42 ||

All these cities and towns, which are so tumultuous with the endless of men, appear to the ignorant and moneyless man as a garden of flowers; where he picks up his worthless penny with as much delight as holy men cull the fragrant blossoms to make their offerings to holy shrines.
