करमा इव सदृक्षान्, क्षीरानं शूकरा इव ।
अर्केस्यालोकवद् धूकास्त्यक्त्वा यागं प्रयान्ति यत् ॥२॥ 1 Ahol surah katham bhrāntastirthambha iva vayasāh;
Kamalākaravadbhékā maksikāścandanam Jathā. 1 2 Karabhā iva sadvriksan ksirānnam sukara tva;
Arkasyālokavat ghūkā-styaktvā yāgam prayāntı yat 2
1-2 Alas ! why do the gods, becoming perplexed, go away leaving the sacrificial offerings, like crows abandoning holy water or frogs abandoning a lake of lotuses, or flies abandoning sandal-wood, or camels abandoning good trees, or hogs abandoning a diet of rice-pudding, or like owls abandoning the light of the Sun?

अथवा-यादृशोऽयं सर्वज्ञस्तादृशा एचैते सुराः, अनुरूप एव संयोगः
Athava-Yādriso'yam sarvajnastādriśā évaité surāh anurūpa éva samyogah. Or, as is this Sarvajna, so they certainly are. The connection is quite appropriate.
पश्यापनुरूपमिन्दिन्दिरेण माकरन्दशेखरो मुखरः । अपि च पिचुमन्दमुकुले मौकुलिकुलमाकुलं मिलति ॥ ४ ॥
Paśyānurūpamindidiréņa mākanda-śėkharo mukharan; Apica picumandamukulé maukulikulamākulam milati. 1
1. Because, see the complaisance; the most beautiful juicy portion of the mango-tree becomes eloquent with the buzzing of bees, while a flock of crows meets confusedly on the buds of Neem (Azadircta Indica) trees.
Still however, I cannot tolerate his arrogance in being styled a Sarvajna.
व्योनि सूर्यद्वयं किं स्याद, गुहायां केसरिद्वयम् । प्रत्याकारे च खड्गौ द्वौ, किं सर्वज्ञावहं स च ॥५॥
