Verse 7.116.20

यामा ध्वान्तपटेन शीतलरुचिः कर्पूरपूरैः करैरर्कालोकनवांशुकेन दिवसस्तारौघपुष्पोत्करैः ।
द्यौरम्भोदतुषारवारिकुसुमैः सर्वर्तवो भूषयन्त्येते कालकलात्मनोस्त्रिभुवने व्योमाङ्गणं नाथयोः ॥ २० ॥

yāmā dhvāntapaṭena śītalaruciḥ karpūrapūraiḥ karairarkālokanavāṃśukena divasastāraughapuṣpotkaraiḥ |
dyaurambhodatuṣāravārikusumaiḥ sarvartavo bhūṣayantyete kālakalātmanostribhuvane vyomāṅgaṇaṃ nāthayoḥ || 20 ||

The night invests the sky with a sable garb, and sprinkles over it the fair moonlight like the cooling dust of camphor; with the decoration of stars like clusters of flowers upon it. The day mantles the firmament with bright sun beams, and the seasons serve to cover it in clouds and snows, and in the gaudy attire of vernal flowers. Thus is time ever busy, to decorate the heavenly paths of his lords the sun and moon, the two time keepers by day and night.
