Verse 5.54.62

बभूवावातदीपाभो लिपिकर्मार्पितोपमः ।
वीतवीच्यम्बुधिप्रख्यो वृष्टमूकाम्बुदस्थितिः ॥ ६२ ॥

babhūvāvātadīpābho lipikarmārpitopamaḥ |
vītavīcyambudhiprakhyo vṛṣṭamūkāmbudasthitiḥ || 62 ||

It remained as still as a lamp in the breathless air, and as the shadow of a picture in painting; it was as calm as the clear lake without its waves, and as the sea after a storm, and as immovable as a cloud after it has poured out its waters.
