That is neat and should take care of Shiva or Vishnu.
a better known version is probably Bhasa's ( Harsha's time 8-9 th centurry ?)
runs
Puspeshu Jaathi ( Jaathi among flowers )
Nagareshu Kanchi ( kanchi among cities )
Streeshu Rambha ( Angel Rambha among damsels )
Purusheshu VISHNU ( Lord Vishnu among men )
I think it may be a South Indian in Pallava's court. Kanchi was
the Capital for the Pallavas. But they precede Ramanuja and Saivism
was dominant. Mahendra varman had accepted Sanskrit as a State
Language then ( in TamilNadu! )
It is interesting that Vishnu is the best of men , Adwaitha philosphy ?)
Sankara might have been a contemporary? My knowledge may be from
historic fictional episodes.
