Transliteration
evéd eṣā́ puru-támā dṛśé káṁ nájāmiṁ ná pári vṛṇakti jāmím | arépāsā tanvā́ śā́śadānā nā́rbhād ī́ṣate ná mahó vibhātī́ ||
Translation
ఇదే ఉషా—దర్శనార్థం అత్యంత సమృద్ధిగా ఉన్నది; ఆమె ఒక బంధువును ఎంచుకొని మరొక బంధువును త్రోసివేయదు. కలంకరహిత తనువుతో ఆమె నిరంతరం ప్రకాశిస్తుంది; చిన్నదానిని చూసి వెనుకాడదు, మహత్తు ముందు క్షీణించదు—ఆమె సర్వత్రా దీప్తిమంతురాలు.
