संपुष्पिता द्रुमलता कुसुमावकीर्णा आसेविता च द्विजसंघनिनादितेन ।
एवं पि मह्यं हृदयं प्रीतिसंकुसुमितं श्रुत्वान पुत्रं मम सर्वगुणोपपेतं ॥ १३६ ॥
saṃpuṣpitā drumalatā kusumāvakīrṇā āsevitā ca dvijasaṃghanināditena |
evaṃ pi mahyaṃ hṛdayaṃ prītisaṃkusumitaṃ śrutvāna putraṃ mama sarvaguṇopapetaṃ || 136 ||
“The blossoming trees in their garb of flowers are the haunt of flocks of twittering birds. So, too, my heart is glad and blooming, since I have heard that my son is endowed with all good qualities.’” (136)
