कुर्यादारम्भमुप्तिं च हृष्टतुष्टः सहायवान् ।
नियोजिकेति या कन्या दुःसहस्य मयोदिता ॥
जातं प्रचोदिकासंज्ञं तस्याः कन्याचतुष्टयम् ।
मत्तोन्मत्तप्रमत्तास्तु नरान् नारीस्तु ताः सदा ॥
kuryād ārambham uptiṃ ca hṛṣṭa-tuṣṭaḥ sahāya-vān / niyojiketi yā kanyā duḥsahasya mayoditā // jātaṃ pracodikā-saṃjñaṃ tasyāḥ kanyā-catuṣṭayam / mattonmatta-pramattās tu narān nārīs tu tāḥ sadā
