Verse 24.4

ता हि सर्वाः समं दुःखान्मुमुचुर्बाष्पजं जलम्। तुल्यमवयर्चिषां तत्र शोकाग्निभयसंभवम्॥ ताभिः सर्वानवद्याभिनंदीभिरिव सागरः। आपूरितं विमानं तद्भयशोकाशिवाश्रुभिः॥

tā hi sarvāḥ samaṃ duḥkhānmumucurbāṣpajaṃ jalam| tulyamavayarciṣāṃ tatra śokāgnibhayasaṃbhavam|| tābhiḥ sarvānavadyābhinaṃdībhiriva sāgaraḥ| āpūritaṃ vimānaṃ tadbhayaśokāśivāśrubhiḥ||

English Meaning

They, all afflicted, shed tears, hot as fiery flames, caused by fear and fire of grief. As the ocean is filled with the currents of the rivers so that car was flooded with their tears originating from fear and sorrow.
