The famous metaphor of lightning considered as the spouse of the cloud is given in "उत्पातपवनधूननोपजातखेदानां गर्भपातमिव संवर्तकाभ्रविद्युताम्।" The lightning forming consorts of the clouds named samvarttakas feeling dismayed over their abortions caused by the tremors caused by typhoons. The divine shrine has been fancied metaphorically to be the cessation of burning power, as it were, of the submarine fire with extinction produced in it by the desiccation of waters in the ocean without a cease.
"अनवरतवारिधिसलिलशोषणोत्पन्नजाड्यस्य दाहशक्तिभ्रंशमिव वाडवाग्नेः।"
The metaphor of white flags fluttering owing to breeze, acting the role or bearing semblance of female cranes (balākās) in the midst of the circle of sheen azure hued on a hazy day (rendered so by the clouds) is available in the same description of the shrine- " Ef&-1941

The advent of the clouds doing good to the whole universe took descent into the Universe as if with a view to alleviating (the anguish ) having seen him (i.e. Harivāhana) tormented by both the Summer Season as well as the Cupid an enemy without a cause. The clouds blue like the heaps of lotus petals hovered over the sky instantaneously with arrays of heavy showers
