TILAKAMANJARĪ OF DHANAPĀLA
were, of the Lord of Serpents (i.e. Vasuki); a boisterous laughter, as it were of Tryambaka (Siva) abiding in the Nethers; an egress route, as it were, for the heaps of fame of Bali; an entrance door to Hades, as it were, for the current of Mandākinī; It were, as it were, the tassel of sheen shot up, of the circle of hoods of the serpent Sesa; the expanse of the light of the Moon frightful owing to its being engulped by Rāhu, melted down as it were, the sky melted down by the heat of the maker of the day (i.e. the Sun) of the time of destruction, as it were, the cluster of Autumnal clouds flowed forth by the contact of the fire of clouds in huge numbers, as it were, the water of the tears of Himālaya wept in grief born of bereavement from Maniāka, melted down collectively as it were: the surface of the circle of clouds transformed into water as it were; ow..g to its transparency and limpidness it had been formed as if out of the glories of the leers of the eyes of the Lāta maidens, out of the rays of the teeth of the Kerala women, as it were and as if out of the gleam of the cheeks of the maidens of the Sindhudeśa.

It had entry made after in its full form under the pretext of an image by the firmament surrounded by the circle of all the stars as if with a desire to wait upon, disparaged owing to its excessive expanse. It had innocent fish being duped by the image of the leaves from the trees grown ashore trumpet hued like the bits of fresh meat. It was as if having huge boas swimming across by the acreca nut palms quavering owing to their contact with the ripples impelled to motion at places under the pretext of their reflection in water. It had echoed the Universe with ripples. It was over grown with golden lotusues.
