यथा —
दम्भेन बाष्पाम्बु-झरस्य केशवं
वीक्ष्य द्रवच्-चित्तम् असुस्रुवत् तव ।

English translation
“O Dāruka! Seeing Kṛṣṇa your heart used to turn liquid on the pretext of your gushing tears. Now in separation from Kṛṣṇa, it is not astonishing that you, Dāruka, have become like a doll made out of wood (dārukalpatā) because of extreme loss of consciousness.”
