Chanakya Niti • Chapter 12 • Shloka 16
काष्ठं कल्पतरुः सुमेरुरचलश्चिन्तामणिः प्रस्तरः सूर्यस्तीव्रकरः शशीक्षयकरः क्षारोहि वारां निधिः । कामो नष्टतनुर्बलिदितिसुतो नित्यं पशुः कामगाः नैस्तांस्ते तुलयामि भो रघुपते कस्योपमादीयते ।।
The desire tree is wood; the golden Mount Meru is motionless; the wish-fulfilling gem cintamani is just a stone; the sun is scorching; the moon is prone to wane; the boundless ocean is saline; the demigod of lust lost his body (due to Shiva's wrath); Bali Maharaja, the son of Diti, was born into a clan of demons; and Kamadhenu (the cow of heaven) is a mere beast. O Lord of the Raghu dynasty! I cannot compare you to any one of these (taking their merits into account).
