अत्रामोदमरंदयोर्न कणिका कोषांतरस्थायिनी
    पत्रच्छत्रपरंपराऽपि विफलारंभा कियद्वर्ण्यताम् ।
एतत्सर्वमपूर्वशिल्परचनाचातुर्यमुच्चावचं
    किं मोहादलिपुत्र चित्रकमले भूयः परिभ्राम्यसि ॥

Oh! baby bee. You are still very young and should be living in your cell. You do not know that this lotus is a mere painting and has neither the fragrance or the nectar. It does not have petals or the leaves. How can I say that your efforts will go waste? This lotus is only showing off the supreme craft of a painter. Why are you going around this painting which is a mere illusion. (World being the painting, God being the creator and we being the bees.)
