ratnacchāyāvyatikara iva prekṣyam etat purastād valmīkāgrāt prabhavati dhanuḥkhaṇḍam ākhaṇḍalasya
yena śyāmaṃ vapur atitarāṃ kāntim āpatsyate te barheṇeva sphuritarucinā gopaveṣasya viṣṇoḥ //

Like the blending of tints in jewels, to the Eastward, at the top of the mountain of Valmīkā, will appear a portion of the bow of Akhandala, by means of which thy dark blue body will gain excessive beauty, like that of the Shepherd Clad Vishnu from the peacock’s tail, which possesses glittering beauty.

Henry Aimé Ouvry 1868, The Megha Dūta, or Cloud Messenger
