sandeha-pratyayanād, yathā-
aṅkaṃ ke' pi śaśaṅkire jala-nidheḥ paṅkaṃ pare menire
sāraṅgaṃ katicic ca saṃjagadire bhūmeś ca bimbaṃ pare |
indau yad dalitendra-nīla-śakala-śyāmaṃ darīdṛśyate
tan manye ravi-bhītam andha-tamasaṃ kukṣi-stham ālakṣyate ||
Through the conviction of doubt, as in:
Some suspected it to be a spot; others thought it the mud of the ocean;
some spoke of it as an antelope; others as the reflection of the earth;
that which appears in the moon, dark as a shattered fragment of sapphire,
that I consider to be the blinding darkness, frightened of the sun, seen dwelling in its belly.
