MANASAMRAKSHANA

There dwelt in 2Ujjain, when 'milk and honey flowed', four chums 
By 3apurva maitri and incomparable 4aikyata, they passed for gems 
Though belonged to diverse castes and jobs they're inseparable 
By typical perseverance, each acquired proficiency incomparable.

The first's a potter and his artistry in sculpture's of high quality
Tae second, a weaver whose dexterity was an object of envy by the best 
The third, a goldsmith shone as bright as Sun among his men for quality 
The last a 5mantrika, much dreaded, but harmless man of the type noblest.

They fancied one day to create one representing all skills they owned-
Soon, the potter absorbing himself made an angel of wonderous beauty, Enchanted by its beauty, the second wove a shimmering garb and adorned 
The third beautified it with gold jewels, noted for rarity and oddity.

The ravishing one roused prema in 6mantrika and in turn his potent wand 
When placing on her head, she moved about with speech at command
As she combined traits of 7koel and 8hamsa, she looked like a damsel
And enkindled love in all, so each claimed the hand of that damsel
