स्वप्नेऽपि सागरं शुष्कं चन्द्रं च पतितं भुवि। उपरुद्धां च जगतीं तमसेव समावृताम्॥ औपवाह्यस्य नागस्य विषाणं शकलीकृतम्। सहसा चापि संशान्ता ज्वलिता जातवेदसः॥ अवदीर्णां च पृथिवीं शुष्कांश्च विविधान् दुमान् । अहं पश्यामि विध्वस्तान् सधूमांश्चैव पर्वतान्॥

English Meaning
And in my dream I saw the ocean dried up, and the moon fallen on the earth, and the earth as if invaded by enfolding darkness, and the tusk of the elephant on which the monarch rides falling in fragments, and flaming fire suddenly extinguished, and the earth rent, and the trees withered, and all the mountains belching smoke.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
