अशनिर्गुणसस्यानां फलिता शरदापदाम् ।
हिमं संवित्सरोजानां तमसां दीर्घयामिनी ॥ ३६ ॥

aśanirguṇasasyānāṃ phalitā śaradāpadām |
himaṃ saṃvitsarojānāṃ tamasāṃ dīrghayāminī || 36 ||

It burns away our good qualities as electric fire does the hay; it numbs our good sense as the frost freezes the lotus; it grows our evils as autumn does the grass; and it increases our ignorance as the winter prolongs the night.
