नृत्यन्त्यमी शिखिन ईड्य मुदा हरिण्य: कुर्वन्ति गोप्य इव ते प्रियमीक्षणेन । सूक्तैश्च कोकिलगणा गृहमागताय धन्या वनौकस इयान् हि सतां निसर्ग: ॥ ७ ॥
nṛtyanty amī śikhina īḍya mudā hariṇyaḥ kurvanti gopya iva te priyam īkṣaṇena sūktaiś ca kokila-gaṇā gṛham āgatāya dhanyā vanaukasa iyān hi satāṁ nisargaḥ
噢，可敬拜者！这些孔雀因喜悦而起舞；这些母鹿以柔情目光取悦你，如同牧女们一般；这些杜鹃又以如吠陀颂歌般的妙语礼赞你，仿佛迎接到家的贵客。林中众生真是有福；圣者迎接圣者，本就应当如此。
