छत्रं दैवं रत्नाकीर्णं स्फटिकरुचिरकुसुमचित्रं सिताभ्रसितप्रभं हस्ता मुक्तं स्थाये सामं समभिच्छदि नृपतितनयं विहायसे उत्थितं ।

A celestial sunshade studded with gems, clear as crystal and gay with flowers, brilliantly white like camphor, stood up of itself in the air, unsupported by hand, and shaded the Lord and Guide of men. A chowrie fan made in heaven, of stiff strong hair, having the incomparable sheen of mother-of-pearl, studded with gems and gold, and pearly white, is waved with its handle upwards. (46)
