Yaśodharācarita · Verses 21-40

pramodam āpādayituṃ sureśvarāṃś
cakāra ghaṇṭāninadaṃ ca bhūsurān |
ajījapad devagirā ca saṃstavān
nanāma bhūmāv asakṛt nipatya sā

vased dhi kasminn iti divyācakṣuṣā |
vilokya gehaṃ vinivartayantu taṃ
divaukasaḥ prārthayataiva sā punaḥ

nirīkṣya jihmānimiṣeṇa cakṣuṣā
nihatya gāḍhaṃ caraṇaṃ bhuvas tale |
muhur muhur daṃśitakomalādharā
prakarṣam utkṣipya vikampya tarjanīm
