Outstretched in fear to flee the black storm cloud,

A shelter seeking, to safe shelter borne,

Then does the river Ajakarani

Give joy to me.

Who shall not love to see on either bank

Clustered rose-apple trees in bright array

Beyond the great cave of the hermitage?

Or hear the soft croak of the frogs, their foes,

The legions of the air, withdrawn, proclaim

Now from the mountain streams is’t time to-day
