दर्शनादेव मित्रत्वं कुर्वतां महतां पुरः ।
कमलानीव भूतानि विकसन्त्याश्वसन्ति च ॥ ३६ ॥

darśanādeva mitratvaṃ kurvatāṃ mahatāṃ puraḥ |
kamalānīva bhūtāni vikasantyāśvasanti ca || 36 ||

When great men like yourself show their kindness, to one as mean as myself at the first sight of him, his heart is sure to glow with love and gratitude to them, as the lotus buds are blown (by the premature gleams of the rising sun), and are led to be hopeful of their favour towards him.
