Adh. XXVII. Sl. 3-5] सप्तविंशोऽध्यायः 245

• तद्द्योगसमुत्थितस्तु गजवत्तालाङ्कुशैर्घट्टिताः

  keys dance through the leaves of palm-trees, bowers of

  thirst, appears wild and restless like a young lady just
  losing her husband.

  तदा सस्योपेता प्रवरनिकराबद्धसमरा
  क्षितिः स्थानस्थानेष्वविरतवसामांसरुधिरा ॥५॥
  Sloka 5.—If, at the time of the disappearance of
