सो दानि ग्रीष्मासु खरासु रात्रिषु वनाद् वनं ईर्यसि चंक्रमन्तो ।
ओदातशीतेन सुखेन वारिणा को दानि ते स्नापयते किलन्तं ॥ १५२ ॥

“But now in the cold and bitter nights thou dost roam and wander from forest to forest. Who, prithee, does now bathe thee with clean and cool and refreshing water when thou art weary?” (152)
