देवसहस्रा नभे अम्बराणि भ्रामेन्सु अन्ये क्षिपं मुक्तिहारं ।
गाथाभि गीतेहि अपरे स्तवेन्सुः प्रध्याये तूष्णीं दुःखि कृष्णबन्धुः ॥ २४३ ॥
devasahasrā nabhe ambarāṇi bhrāmensu anye kṣipaṃ muktihāraṃ |
gāthābhi gītehi apare stavensuḥ pradhyāye tūṣṇīṃ duḥkhi kṛṣṇabandhuḥ || 243 ||
Thousands of devas in the sky waved saffron garments; some threw strings of pearls; others praised him in verse and song, while the discomfited Son of Darkness brooded in silence. (243)
