ममापि रुचितं चित्ते तव वाक्यमिदं शुभम् । धन्याहं यदि ते कण्ठमालिंगामि यथेच्छया
mamāpi rucitaṃ citte tava vākyamidaṃ śubham | dhanyāhaṃ yadi te kaṇṭhamāliṃgāmi yathecchayā
تمہاری یہ مبارک بات میرے دل کو بھی بھا گئی ہے۔ میں دھنّیہ ہوں اگر اپنی چاہ کے مطابق تمہارے گلے سے لپٹ سکوں۔

No tīrtha is named in this verse; it is part of a larger kṣetra-centered narrative.
None.
