बन बाग उपबन बाटिका सर कूप बापीं सोहहीं। नर नाग सुर गंधर्ब कन्या रूप मुनि मन मोहहीं॥ कहुँ माल देह बिसाल सैल समान अतिबल गर्जहीं। नाना अखारेन्ह भिरहिं बहुबिधि एक एकन्ह तर्जहीं॥ २ ॥

Forests, gardens, groves, orchards, lakes, wells, and stepwells all adorned the city. Women of humans, nāgas, gods, and gandharvas, beautiful in form, enchanted even the minds of sages. Here and there wrestlers, huge-bodied like mountains, roared with great strength. In many wrestling arenas they fought in various ways and challenged one another.
