Description of the City of Dharmarāja
Yama
प्रासादकुञ्जेषु विहार्यमाणा न तृप्तिमेवं बहु ताः प्रयान्ति ॥ गन्धः सुगन्धोऽगुरुचन्दनानां वातः शुभो वाति सुशीतमन्दः ॥
prāsāda-kuñjeṣu vihāryamāṇā na tṛptim evaṃ bahu tāḥ prayānti || gandhaḥ sugandho 'guru-candanānāṃ vātaḥ śubho vāti suśīta-mandaḥ ||
เมื่อเริงเล่นอยู่ในพุ่มสวนแห่งปราสาท นางทั้งหลายแม้เสพความรื่นรมย์มากเพียงใดก็ยังไม่อิ่มเอม กลิ่นหอมของไม้กฤษณาและจันทน์อบอวลอยู่ และสายลมอันเป็นมงคลพัดมาอย่างเย็นสบายและอ่อนโยน
