The Mahapurana, a celestial lake adorned with stars, was graced by the moon, its rays like the wings of a swan. ||27|| The stars, like large pearls adorning the necklaces of the directional women, enhanced the beauty of the sky, a celestial abode, with the splendor of floral offerings. ||28|| The stars, pure like radiant pearls, shone in the celestial ocean, like hailstones, cold and white, held by the clouds. ||29|| The stars, scattered across the celestial expanse, seemed like bubbles born from the water of moonlight. ||30|| The rivers, their bodies reduced to thin streams of water, were like women bereft of their husbands, the rainy season, their forms emaciated. ||31|| The rivers, their waters clear and pure, had lost their depth, like widows, having lost their wealth, they had embraced a state of widowhood. ||32|| The directional women, their forms illuminated by the absence of the clouds, were filled with joy, like a flock of swans, playfully teasing each other. ||33|| The peacocks, their cries silenced, seemed to have been defeated by the sweet sounds of the swans, for time makes all powerful. ||34|| The pure autumn, adorned with a garland of stars, like a necklace of twenty-seven pearls, and a smile like the bloom of a midday flower, shone brightly. ||35|| The moon, spreading the fame of autumn, like a radiant king, adorned the celestial sphere, having attained the wealth of autumn. ||36|| The autumn, like a newlywed bride, with the rays of the sun, like arrows, adorning her beloveds, and the swans, her companions, was a sight to behold. ||37|| The lake, adorned with lotuses, seemed to have conquered the sky, adorned with stars. ||26|| The moon, spreading its rays like wings, moved across the celestial lake, adorned with star-like lotuses, like a swan. ||27|| The stars, like large pearls adorning the necklaces of the directional women, enhanced the beauty of the sky, a celestial abode, with the splendor of floral offerings. ||28|| The stars, pure like radiant pearls, shone in the celestial ocean, like hailstones, cold and white, held by the clouds. ||29|| The stars, scattered across the celestial expanse, seemed like bubbles born from the water of moonlight. ||30|| The rivers, their bodies reduced to thin streams of water, were like women bereft of their husbands, the rainy season, their forms emaciated. ||31|| The rivers, their waters clear and pure, had lost their depth, like widows, having lost their wealth, they had embraced a state of widowhood. ||32|| The directional women, their forms illuminated by the absence of the clouds, were filled with joy, like a flock of swans, playfully teasing each other. ||33|| The peacocks, their cries silenced, seemed to have been defeated by the sweet sounds of the swans, for time makes all powerful. ||34|| The pure autumn, adorned with a garland of stars, like a necklace of twenty-seven pearls, and a smile like the bloom of a midday flower, shone brightly. ||35|| The moon, spreading the fame of autumn, like a radiant king, adorned the celestial sphere, having attained the wealth of autumn. ||36|| The autumn, like a newlywed bride, with the rays of the sun, like arrows, adorning her beloveds, and the swans, her companions, was a sight to behold. ||37||
