किंचित् एव भवति अपरिशून्यं क्षेत्रम् अप्रतिमरूपधरेहि ।
क्षेत्रकोटिनयुतानि बहूनि शून्यकानि पुरुषप्रवरेहि ॥ ६ ॥
kiṃcit eva bhavati apariśūnyaṃ kṣetram apratimarūpadharehi |
kṣetrakoṭinayutāni bahūni śūnyakāni puruṣapravarehi || 6 ||
Here and there is a field that is not empty of those whose form is peerless. But many kotis of nayutas of fields are empty of the pre-eminent men. (6)
