Verse 20.27

सा निकृत्तेव सालस्य यष्टिः परशुना वने। पपात सहसा देवी देवतेव दिवश्च्युता॥

sā nikṛtteva sālasya yaṣṭiḥ paraśunā vane| papāta sahasā devī devateva divaścyutā||

Like to the stem of a sāla tree cut asunder by an axe in a wood, like to a female celestial fallen down from the abode of the gods, she fell down suddenly (hearing these heart-rending words.)
