Whatso fate has fated is fair
Who so has whatso any,
O deem thou more than plenty,
Fair ‘tis enough fame to fetch,
No one has all of world bounty.
Does Pineapple plant flowers fetch?
Can Forest Flame fruit-bearing be?
Betel-leaf has fruits nor flowers,
Nature to no one all its grace showers.

The Sanskrit verse:
kasya api kah api atishayah asti
saha tena loke khyaati prayaati
na hi sarva-vidah tu sarve |
kim ketakee phalati
kim panasah su-pushpah
kim naagavallaya api cha pushpa-phalaih upetaa ||
