जातः सुविमलो भद्रे शरदीव यथा शशी॥ श्वपाकश्चापि सुश्रोणि मम चैवोपगायकः॥
jātaḥ suvimalaḥ bhadre śaradīva yathā śaśī || śvapākaś cāpi suśroṇi mama caivopagāyakaḥ ||
वोह बिलकुल साफ़ हो के पैदा होता है, जैसे सरद का चाँद चमकता है। चाहे कोई बड़ा गंदा काम करने वाला क्यों न हो, वोह भी मेरा गायक बन जाता है और मेरे पास रहता है।
