Sanskrit Original
बापीं तड़ाग अनूप कूप मनोहरायत सोहहीं। सोपान सुंदर नीर निर्मल देखि सुर मुनि मोहहीं।। बहु रंग कंज अनेक खग कूजहिं मधुप गुंजारहीं। आराम रम्य पिकादि खग रव जनु पथिक हंकारहीं।।
bāpīṃ taḍaāga anūpa kūpa manōharāyata sōhahīṃ. sōpāna suṃdara nīra nirmala dēkhi sura muni mōhahīṃ.. bahu raṃga kaṃja anēka khaga kūjahiṃ madhupa guṃjārahīṃ. ārāma ramya pikādi khaga rava janu pathika haṃkārahīṃ..
Its peerless ponds and tanks and charming and spacious wells looked so beautiful with their elegant flights of steps and transparent water that even gods and sages were fascinated by their sight. The lakes were adorned with many-coloured lotuses and resounded with the cooing of the numerous birds and the humming of the bees; and the delightful gardens seemed to invite the passers-by through the notes of the cuckoos and other birds.
