भूताकाशमिवाकारभासुरं शून्यमात्रकम् ।
शरदभ्रमिवाग्रस्थमलमक्षयमक्षतम् ॥ ९ ॥

bhūtākāśamivākārabhāsuraṃ śūnyamātrakam |
śaradabhramivāgrasthamalamakṣayamakṣatam || 9 ||

It is as the etherial sphere, full of light all around, but all hollow within;and like the blue autumnal sky, with its light and flimsy clouds without any rain-water in them.
