TRANSLATION

Seeing the bumblebees following Parvacitti, Maharaja Agnidhra
said: My dear Lord, the bumblebees surrounding your body are
like disciples surrounding your worshipable self. They are inces-

thus offering prayers to you. Just as great sages resort to the
branches of Vedic literatures, the bumblebees are enjoying the
showers of flowers falling from your hair.
