अङ्कोलाश्च कुरण्टाश्च चूर्णकाः पारिभद्रकाः।चूताः पाटलयश्चैव कोविदाराश्च पुष्पिताः।।।।मुचुकुन्दार्जुनाश्चैव दृश्यन्ते गिरिसानुषु।केतकोद्दालकाश्चैव शिरीषाः शिंशुपा धवाः।।।।
aṅkolāś ca kuraṇṭāś ca cūrṇakāḥ pāribhadrakāḥ |
cūtāḥ pāṭalayāś caiva kovidārāś ca puṣpitāḥ ||
mucukundārjunāś caiva dṛśyante girisānuṣu |
ketakoddālakāś caiva śirīṣāḥ śiṃśupā dhavāḥ ||
在山坡之上，可见安拘罗与俱兰多，朱尔那迦与似波利阇多之树；芒果树、波吒梨与拘毗陀罗亦皆开花。又见牟朱昆陀与阿周那，并有计多迦、优陀罗迦、尸利沙、尸ṃśupā与陀婆诸树。
The bluish-yellow grass, dotted with different kinds of flowers fallen from the trees shines like a carpet spread.
