English Meaning
Ranged by cats and owls, with the doors of the people's dwellings remaining closed; like a night enveloped in darkness gloomy; and invisible; resembling the beloved wife of Rāhu's enemy, Rohini, brilliant with the lustre of the latter, when she is forlorn in consequence of her lover being afflicted by that planet.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
