परमान्ध्यमुपाजग्मुदिशोऽविस्फुटतारकाः ।
लम्बदीर्घतमःकेश्यो विधवा इव योषितः ॥ २६ ॥

paramāndhyamupājagmudiśo'visphuṭatārakāḥ |
lambadīrghatamaḥkeśyo vidhavā iva yoṣitaḥ || 26 ||

A thick gloom covered the face of nature, and the stars were hid under the mists of night, and all the quarters of the skies, seemed with their overhanging loose and hairy mists, as the faces of widows shrouded by the dark dishevelled hair of mourning.
