3PTAUT-810 • 15 gosthi sat-kavibhiḥ samam kutipayair, mugdhaḥ sitāsșoḥ karāḥ kesancit sukhayanti cātra hrdayam caitre vicitrāḥ
srajaḥ //138/1 "By the side is the beloved, an abode of love's articulations, relaxing after the fun. The sweetly indistinct cooing of the cuckoo is approaching the ear. The bower of creepers is coming to life. Ralaxed talk with select masters of poetry is going on. The bright rays of the moon are hanging around, as if mesmerized. And, in such a Spring, garlands of many a sort are gladdening the hearts of the few fortunate ones. " 33
Similar to the preceding in integrating culture with nature is :
ramayāś candra-maricayas trnavati ramyā vanānta-sthali
ramyam sādhu-samāgamāgama-sukham, kāvyeșu rumyāḥ kathah / .
kopopāhita-bāspa-bindu-taralam ramyaṁ priyāyā mukham,
sarvan ramyan, anityatām upagate citte na kimcil punaḥ //19311
"Attractive are the rays of the moon. Attractive is the grassy ground in the woods. Attractive is the pleasure of good company. Attractive are the stories told in poetry. Attractive is the beloved's face
