Verse 7.115.23

रम्याश्चन्दनवीथयो हि मलये विन्ध्ये मदान्धा गजाः कैलासे नृप पादजाति कनकं चन्द्रं महेन्द्राचले ।
दिव्याश्चौषधयस्तुषारशिखरे सर्वत्र रत्नानि वै सन्त्यन्धाखुवदेष जीर्णसदने व्यर्थं जनो जीर्यते ॥ २३ ॥

ramyāścandanavīthayo hi malaye vindhye madāndhā gajāḥ kailāse nṛpa pādajāti kanakaṃ candraṃ mahendrācale |
divyāścauṣadhayastuṣāraśikhare sarvatra ratnāni vai santyandhākhuvadeṣa jīrṇasadane vyarthaṃ jano jīryate || 23 ||

Lo here my lord, the ravines of the Malaya mountain, redolent with the odour of the aromatic sandal wood; and there the Vindhyan hills, abounding with infuriate elephants; the Kailasa mount yielding the best kind of gold, in its olden laureate lore; and the Mount Mahendra, fraught with its mineral ore (aguru—agallochum); the summits of the snowy mountain are plenteous, with the best kind of horses and medicinal plants; thus while every place [is] found to abound with richest productions of nature, why does man set to repine in his time worn cell, like an old and blind mouse in its dirty hole.
