Śūnyaka-nagara Utpāta-varṇanam (Portents in the City of Śūnyaka) — Lalitāyāḥ Yātrā-śravaṇāt Bhaṇḍāsura-purālaye Kṣobhaḥ
अपतन्वेदिमध्येषु बिन्दवः शोणितांभसाम् / केशौघकाश्च निष्पेतुः सर्वतो धूमधूसराः
apatanvedimadhyeṣu bindavaḥ śoṇitāṃbhasām / keśaughakāśca niṣpetuḥ sarvato dhūmadhūsarāḥ
In the midst of the altar fell drops of water mingled with blood, and tufts of hair, smoke-grey, flew out on every side.
