Verse 7.203.8

नभोनीलोत्पले नीले गलद्रजसि राजति ।
घर्मांशुकर्णिकाकान्ते स्फुरत्किरणकेसरे ॥ ८ ॥

nabhonīlotpale nīle galadrajasi rājati |
gharmāṃśukarṇikākānte sphuratkiraṇakesare || 8 ||

The cerulean sphere of heaven, appeared as the lake of blue lotuses, and the shining sun seemed as the golden pericarp of the flower; his bright beams resembled the aureate farina of flowers, and his slanting rays likened the aslant pistils in the air.
