वरसुरभिशीलगन्धं आनेथ शाम्यति तु व्याधि ॥ ३ ॥
pāṇḍaravarṇaṃ kāñcananibhaṃ dinakaraparipūrṇacārumukhaṃ |
varasurabhiśīlagandhaṃ ānetha śāmyati tu vyādhi || 3 ||
Fetch him whose beauty is radiant, whose splendour is golden, whose countenance is genial as the sun at noontide, who is sweetly redolent of virtue. Thus will the plague be stopped. (3)
