रमेयं कथया ते तु दृढं मधुरभाषिणि । रविरस्तं गतः श्रीमानुपोह्य रजनी शुभाम्॥ दिवसं परिकीर्णानामाहारार्थं पतत्त्रिणाम्। संध्याकाले निलीनानां निद्रार्थं श्रूयते ध्वनिः॥
rameyaṃ kathayā te tu dṛḍhaṃ madhurabhāṣiṇi | ravirastaṃ gataḥ śrīmānupohya rajanī śubhām|| divasaṃ parikīrṇānāmāhārārthaṃ patattriṇām| saṃdhyākāle nilīnānāṃ nidrārthaṃ śrūyate dhvaniḥ||
English Meaning
O sweet-speeched one, I have been delighted with your narration. But ushering in the auspicious night, the graceful Sun has set. And there are heard the notes of feathered ones, which, after having gone about in search of food, are resting now for the purpose of sleeping.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
