हंससारसचक्राह्व विहंगममनोहरम् । तटांतविटपोल्लासि पतत्त्रिगणसंकुलम्
haṃsasārasacakrāhva vihaṃgamamanoharam | taṭāṃtaviṭapollāsi patattrigaṇasaṃkulam
Kaaya-aya ito dahil sa mga ibon—mga sisne, sārasas, at cakrāhva—at kaakit-akit sa mga kawan ng may pakpak. Sa mga pampang, kumikislap ang mga sanga na nakaladlad, at ang dalampasigan ay siksik sa mga ibon.
Narrator (contextual; before the explicit dialogue begins)
Tirtha: Brahma-kuṇḍa
Type: kund
Scene: The sacred tank teems with swans, sārasas, and cakrāhvas; the banks glow with spreading tree-boughs, and the shore is crowded with flocks of birds—an auspicious, living sanctuary.
Sacred places are portrayed as harmonizing dharma and nature—purity is mirrored by auspicious, serene surroundings.
The Ayodhyā kuṇḍa/saras being praised in Adhyāya 2 of Ayodhyāmāhātmya.
None explicitly; the verse continues the māhātmya-style depiction that supports later prescriptions like snāna and dāna.
