मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
कलहंसविनिर्धोषैर्नूपुराणां च नि:स्वनै: । काज्चीनां च समुत्कर्षस्तत्र तत्र निबोध्यते,वह सो जानेपर कलहंसोंके कलरवों, नूपुरोंकी मधुर झनकारों तथा काउ्चीकी मनोहर ध्वनियोंद्वारा जगाया जाता है
kala-haṃsa-vinirghoṣair nūpurāṇāṃ ca niḥsvanaiḥ | kāñcīnāṃ ca samutkarṣas tatra tatra nibodhyate ||
