गगन च शून्यगहनं प्रलपति भुवि पतति विस्खलति ॥ ३१ ॥

sā nūnaṃ mama kāntā dṛṣṭvā susnigdhaghanatamaḥśyāmam |
gagana ca śūnyagahanaṃ pralapati bhuvi patati viskhalati || 31 ||

Ah surely, says a traveller, that dear one of mine, must now be weeping and wailing, or falling down and rolling on the ground, at the sight of yonder dark cloud in the sky in my absence.
