The Adipurana describes a beautiful autumn night. The sky, like a clear lake, is adorned with stars, which resemble pearls strung on a necklace. The moon, like a swan, spreads its rays, which are like its wings. The stars, like flowers, add to the beauty of the sky, which is like a house. The rivers, like women, are thin and weak, having lost their strength due to the absence of rain. They are like widows, dressed in white and devoid of any arrogance. The directions, like women, are illuminated by the stars and are happy, laughing with each other. The peacocks have stopped their cries, defeated by the sweet sounds of the swans. The autumn night, dressed in moonlight, is adorned with a necklace of stars and is beautiful. The moon, like a king, shines brightly, spreading its fame like moonlight. The autumn night, like a newlywed bride, is surrounded by her friends, the swans, and is adorned with the light of the stars.
