Garuḍa–Śakra Saṃvāda and the Retrieval of Amṛta (गरुड–शक्र संवादः अमृत-अपहरण-प्रसङ्गः)
मम्लुर्माल्यानि देवानां नेशुस्तेजांसि चैव हि । उत्पातमेघा रौद्राश्न ववृषु: शोणितं बहु
mamlur mālyāni devānāṃ neśus tejāṃsi caiva hi | utpāta-meghā raudrāś ca vavṛṣuḥ śoṇitaṃ bahu ||
カーシュヤパは言った。「神々の花鬘はしおれ、その光輝もまた衰え始めた。凶兆の恐るべき雲が群れ集い、夥しい血の雨を降らせた。」
