Of Chitrakúṭa's lovely height:

“Though reft of power and kingly sway,

Though friends and home are far away,

I cannot mourn my altered lot,

Enamoured of this charming spot.

Look, darling, on this noble hill

Which sweet birds with their music fill,

Bright with a thousand metal dyes

His lofty summits cleave the skies.

See, there a silvery sheen is spread,
