न केनचिन्महाभागे विभवानन्दवस्तुना ।
चेतस्तव तुलामेति मरुक्षीराब्धिसुन्दरम् ॥ १६ ॥

cetastava tulāmeti marukṣīrābdhisundaram || 16 ||

O fortunate princess, there are no such gratifications in the enjoyment of earthly possessions, which may equal the spiritual joy of thy tranquil mind. The one is as dry as the dryness of the sandy desert, compared with the refreshing water of the milky ocean.
