नीलोत्पलदलश्यामा dark like the petals of blue lotuses, पयोधराः rainbearing clouds, दश ten, दिशः directions, श्यामीकृत्वा having filled with darkness, विमदाः devoid of intoxication, मातङ्गाः इव like elephants, शान्तवेगाः became quiet.

'The clouds, which were dark till now like the blue lotus petals darkening all the ten directions are like elephants free from all intoxication as their fury is abated৷৷
