दृष्ट्वा वृंदारिकां तत्र महांतश्चाप्सरोगणाः । तुष्टुवुर्नभसस्तुष्टा ववृषुः पुष्पवृष्टिभिः
dṛṣṭvā vṛṃdārikāṃ tatra mahāṃtaścāpsarogaṇāḥ | tuṣṭuvurnabhasastuṣṭā vavṛṣuḥ puṣpavṛṣṭibhiḥ
அங்கே விருந்தாரிகையைப் பார்த்த மகத்தான அப்சரஸ்கூட்டம் அவளைப் புகழ்ந்தது; வானில் மகிழ்ந்து மலர்மழையைத் தாரைதாரையாகப் பொழிந்தது.
