इयं च नलिनी रम्या जाता पर्वतनिर्झरे । नेयं भवनमासाद्य कुबेरस्प महात्मन:,यह रमणीय सरोवर पर्वतीय झरनोंसे प्रकट हुआ है, यह महामना कुबेरके घरमें नहीं है
iyaṃ ca nalinī ramyā jātā parvata-nirjhare | neyaṃ bhavanam āsādya kuberasya mahātmanaḥ ||
ভীমসেনে ক’লে— “এই মনোৰম পদ্মসৰোবৰ পাহাৰৰ ঝৰ্ণাধাৰাৰ পৰা উদ্ভৱ হৈছে। মহাত্মা কুবেৰৰ ভৱনত গৈ পোৱা বস্তু ই নহয়; ই পাহাৰৰ পৰা জন্ম লোৱা স্বাভাৱিক হ্ৰদ।”
