How is that wrath proper which has destroyed compassion, / burning righteousness as a wild fire burns a tree, uprooting conduct as an elephant uproots a creeper, / eclipsing human fame as Rāhu eclipses a crescent of the moon, / scattering one's true goal as the wind scatters a cloud, and exciting calamity and thirst as heat does?
