Seven fearful suns of the smoke colour were visible in the firmament. The planets were seen to reside in the horns in the Moon Śukra and Bṛihaspati were situated on the left and the right sides respectively there Saturn and Mars and all the stars at the time of dissolution of the universe arrived at their places in the horns respectively The Moon also did not welcome the asterism Rohiṇi, indicating as it were, the destruction of the universe with planets and other stars Râhu began to shadow the Moon, and meteors began to fall on Him as well as on the Moon Devendra began to shower blood and meteors began to descend from the heaven and there was a fearful clattering noise.—37-43.
