तिर्यक् च सह नक्षत्रैः संगतौ चन्द्रभास्करौ। भास्करांशुभिरादीप्तं तमसा च समावृतम्॥ प्रचकाशे तदाकाशमुल्काशतविदीपितम्। अन्तरिक्षाच्च निर्घाता निर्जग्मुरतुलस्वनाः॥
tiryak ca saha nakṣatraiḥ saṃgatau candrabhāskarau| bhāskarāṃśubhirādīptaṃ tamasā ca samāvṛtam|| pracakāśe tadākāśamulkāśatavidīpitam| antarikṣācca nirghātā nirjagmuratulasvanāḥ||
English Meaning
The stars appeared simultaneously with the Sun and Moon.* And the sky was illumined with the rays of the Sun, and yet it was overspread with darkness; and it burned with an hundred meteors. And thunder-bolts sending forth sounds surpassing all others, dropped from the firmament. *The phenomenon, remarks the commentator, was owing to the heavenly bodies obstructing each other's orbit.
