ततो राजा न प्रभातं त्वयेच्छामि निशे नक्षत्रभूषिते॥ क्रियतां मे दया भद्रे मयायं रचितोऽञ्जलिः।
tato rājā na prabhātaṃ tvayecchāmi niśe nakṣatrabhūṣite|| kriyatāṃ me dayā bhadre mayāyaṃ racito'ñjaliḥ|
English Meaning
O night studded with stars, I beseech you, let not the morning appear. Do you, O gentle one, do me this kindness. I do thus clasp my hands (by way of supplication.)
