वृंदावने पद्मपाणिः कुशहस्तश्च नैमिषे । गोप्लक्षे चैव गोपीन्द्रः सचंद्रो यमुनातटे
vṛṃdāvane padmapāṇiḥ kuśahastaśca naimiṣe | goplakṣe caiva gopīndraḥ sacaṃdro yamunātaṭe
នៅវ្រឹន្ទាវន ទ្រង់ជាបទ្មបាណិ អ្នកកាន់ផ្កាឈូកក្នុងព្រះហស្ត; នៅនៃមិษៈ ទ្រង់ជាគុសហស្ត អ្នកកាន់ស្មៅគុស។ នៅគោប្លក្សៈ ទ្រង់ជាគោពីន្ទ្រ; ហើយនៅមាត់ទន្លេយមុនា ទ្រង់ជាសចន្ទ្រ។
