प्रतनोति शमच्छायां छायामिव घनागमः ।
निरोधमास्फारयति शमोऽनिल इवाम्बुदम् ॥ २८ ॥

pratanoti śamacchāyāṃ chāyāmiva ghanāgamaḥ |
nirodhamāsphārayati śamo'nila ivāmbudam || 28 ||

It spreads the awning shade of harmony, as the clouds cast a cooling shadow below; it stretches a quiet composure over the mind (chitta-vritti nirodha), as an extensive cloud overspreads a still calm in the air.
