Verse 3.77.13

कज्जलाम्भोदमध्याभा काचशैलोदरोपमा ।
पङ्कपिण्डान्तरघना खड्गच्छेद्यान्ध्यमांसला ॥ १३ ॥

kajjalāmbhodamadhyābhā kācaśailodaropamā |
paṅkapiṇḍāntaraghanā khaḍgacchedyāndhyamāṃsalā || 13 ||

The lightnings flashing from amidst the dark inky clouds, resembled the reflections of ray from the bosom of a crystal mountain. The clouds were as thick as solid clay, and the darkness was as stiff as it required to be severed by a sword.
