यथा दीपस्य शान्तस्य न परिज्ञायते गतिः ।
तस्य सायकसङ्घस्य न विज्ञाता तथा गतिः ॥ २० ॥

yathā dīpasya śāntasya na parijñāyate gatiḥ |
tasya sāyakasaṅghasya na vijñātā tathā gatiḥ || 20 ||

As an extinguished lamp loses its light in the air, so the flashes of the fire arms disappeared in the sky, and nobody knew where they fled.
