भूलोकस्यान्धतमसा लोकालोकतटो यथा ।
लज्जान्धकारतीक्ष्णांशौ तस्मिंस्तिमिरमण्डले ॥ १५ ॥

bhūlokasyāndhatamasā lokālokataṭo yathā |
lajjāndhakāratīkṣṇāṃśau tasmiṃstimiramaṇḍale || 15 ||

A deep darkness overspread the face of the earth, and covered it in thick gloom; like the regions of the polar mountains; where the hot-blazing-sun is obscured by the dark shade of perpetual night, as if hiding his face in shame under the dark veil of Cimmerian gloom.
