ताम् । ' अन्तं विशुद्धे व्याप्ते स्यादन्तो नाशे मनोहरे । स्वरूपेऽन्तं मतं क्लीबं न स्त्री प्रान्तेऽन्तिके त्रिषु' इति विश्वलोचने । It is implied that the demi-god, Sambara, will have to atone for the misdeeds perpetrated by him with reference to the Sage. अज्ञानवृत्तिम् - the unwise course of conduct; the deed perpetrated through corrupt knowledge, न विद्यते ज्ञान सम्यग्ज्ञानं यस्यां सा अज्ञाना । अज्ञाना चाऽसौ वृत्तिः क्रिया वर्तन वा चाज्ञानवृत्तिः । ताम् । मिथ्याज्ञानजनिता क्रियामित्यर्थः । प्रहसितुमिव - to deride as it were. ज्योत्स्नाहास - laughter in the form of moon-light. ज्योत्स्ना कौमद्येव हासः हास्य ज्योत्स्नाहासः । दिशि दिशि-in every direction; in all directions. तन्वतीspreading, diffusing. दिशां वैमल्येन - through the clearness of all quarters. चतुरः - clever, agreeable. 'दक्षे तु चतुरपेशलपटवः सूत्थान उष्णश्च' इत्यमरः । लोचने मीलयित्वा - with both the eyes shut; closing both eyes. The autumnal season, which is personified, implies that the summer season, having the hot rays diffused, should not set in, for in the opinion of the autumnal season it was not the month of Chaitra but of Kartika, but should wait for some months more. लोचने - (1) eyes ; (2) rays resembling eyes. When the termination क, which is affixed to a word to imply resemblance, is dropped under the rule 'देवपथादिभ्यः ', the number and gender of the new word are not changed, but remain as they are of the word to which the termination क is affixed first and then dropped under the rule 'युक्तवदुसि लिङ्गसङ्ख्ये '. So the word लोचने can be taken to imply the additional meaning मयूखान्, In this context, the phrase लोचने मीलयित्वा should be taken to mean contracting the rays. Ateitical – contracting. 3772117 मासान् गमय - remove to months other than the months of कार्तिक etc. रुन्धती इव - preventing as if. प्रादुरासीत् - appeared, set in. It is implied that at the time when pure and perfect knowledge had become manifest in the Sage, the antumnal and the summer seasons had set in simultaneously.
