वर्णो व्योममलस्येव दृश्यमानमवस्तुकम् ।
स्वप्नाङ्गनारताकारमर्थनिष्ठमनर्थकम् ॥ १० ॥

varṇo vyomamalasyeva dṛśyamānamavastukam |
svapnāṅganāratākāramarthaniṣṭhamanarthakam || 10 ||

It is as the unsubstantial vacuum, with the cerulean blue of solid sapphire; and like the domes and dames appearing in dreams, fleeting as air and untangible to touch.
