Translation
In the dense darkness which cannot be pierced even by a needle; as the sky holds ‘thick water filled clouds’ which thunder aloud believing themselves to be great orators; as the heap of water drops pour down; this ‘lightning’ flashing beautifully like a golden streak, makes the woman on the road (secretly meeting her lover) to feel happy and sad at the same time. ॥ 94 ॥
