Shloka 12
शोभसे कुण्डलाभ्यां च रुचिराभ्यां महायुते । विशाखयोर्मध्यगत: शशीव विमले दिवि,महाद्युते! तुम इन दोनों मनोहर कुण्डलोंसे निर्मल आकाशमें विशाखा नामक दो नक्षत्रोंके बीच प्रकाशित होनेवाले चन्द्रमाकी भाँति शोभा पाते हो
śobhase kuṇḍalābhyāṃ ca rucirābhyāṃ mahāyute | viśākhayor madhyagataḥ śaśīva vimale divi mahādyute ||
