गतः सेतुः सुनीतानां गतो धर्मस्य विग्रहः। गतः सत्त्वस्य संक्षेपः सुहस्तानां गतिर्गता॥ आदित्यः पतितो भूमौ मग्नस्तमसि चन्द्रमाः। चित्रभानुः प्रशान्ताचिर्व्यवसायो निरुद्यमः।। अस्मिन्निपतिते वीरे भूमौ शस्त्रभृतां वरे॥
gataḥ setuḥ sunītānāṃ gato dharmasya vigrahaḥ| gataḥ sattvasya saṃkṣepaḥ suhastānāṃ gatirgatā|| ādityaḥ patito bhūmau magnastamasi candramāḥ| citrabhānuḥ praśāntācirvyavasāyo nirudyamaḥ|| asminnipatite vīre bhūmau śastrabhṛtāṃ vare||
English Meaning
Oh! the bridge of the pious has been broken, the figure of the virtue has been spoiled, the refuge of the strong and powerful has disappeared and you have attained to the state of the heroes! The sun has fallen down on the earth, the moon has been shorn of its lustre, the fire has been extinguished and virtue has desisted from its action, this hero, the foremost of those using weapons, falling down on the earth.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
