पूर्वेवासनिवासेन प्रत्युत्पन्नहितेन वा ।
एवन् तं संजायते प्रेम्नं उत्पलं वा यथोदके ॥ १ ॥
pūrvevāsanivāsena pratyutpannahitena vā |
evan taṃ saṃjāyate premnaṃ utpalaṃ vā yathodake || 1 ||
By living together in the past and by kindness in the present, so is this love born, as a lotus is born in water. (1)
