नि गावो गोष्ठे असदन् नि मृगासो अविक्षत । नि केतवो जनानां न्य् अदृष्टा अलिप्सत ॥
ni gāvo goṣṭhe asadan ni mṛgāso avikṣata | ni ketavo janānāṃ ny adṛṣṭā alipsata ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
The cows had settled in their stalls, the beasts of prey had sought their lairs, Extinguished were the lights of men, when things unseen infected me.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
