Sanskrit Original
बाजार रुचिर न बनइ बरनत बस्तु बिनु गथ पाइए। जहँ भूप रमानिवास तहँ की संपदा किमि गाइए।। बैठे बजाज सराफ बनिक अनेक मनहुँ कुबेर ते। सब सुखी सब सच्चरित सुंदर नारि नर सिसु जरठ जे।।
bājāra rucira na banai baranata bastu binu gatha pāiē. jahaom bhūpa ramānivāsa tahaom kī saṃpadā kimi gāiē.. baiṭhē bajāja sarāpha banika anēka manahu kubēra tē. saba sukhī saba saccarita suṃdara nāri nara sisu jaraṭha jē..
The bazars were splendid beyond description; things could be had without any consideration there. How can anyone describe the wealth of the city where the Abode of Laksmi Himself reigned as King? The cloth- merchants, bankers and other dealers sat at their shops like so many Kuberas (gods of riches). All men and women, children and aged folk alike were happy, all of good conduct and comely in appearance.
