क्षणेन तद् वनं सर्व नि:शब्दम भवत् तदा । नाद: प्रस्रवणानां च पक्षिणां चाप्युपारमत्,एक ही क्षणमें वह सारा वन शब्दरहित हो गया। झरनों और पक्षियोंतककी आवाज बंद हो गयी
Transliteration
kṣaṇena tad vanaṃ sarvaṃ niḥśabdam abhavat tadā | nādaḥ prasravaṇānāṃ ca pakṣiṇāṃ cāpy upāramat ||
Translation
Vaiśampāyana disse: “Num só instante, toda a floresta caiu em completo silêncio. Cessou o murmúrio das fontes, e até o canto das aves parou—uma quietude funesta desceu sobre o lugar, como se a própria natureza tivesse sido tomada por súbito temor ou presságio.”
