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-
santly chanting the mantras of the Sama Veda and the Upanisads,
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.
