काम क्रोध मद मत्सर भेका। इन्हहि हरषप्रद बरषा एका॥ दुर्बासना कुमुद समुदाई। तिन्ह कहँ सरद सदा सुखदाई॥ २ ॥

kāma krodha mada matsara bhekā। inhahi haraṣaprada baraṣā ekā॥ durbāsanā kumuda samudāī। tinha kahuṃ sarada sadā sukhadāī॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

Lust, anger, pride, and jealousy are like frogs. This one woman is the rain that delights them. Evil tendencies are like a cluster of kumud flowers; for them, autumn is ever pleasant.
