Translation from Sanskrit poetry from Vidyâkara's "Treasury" (Daniel H.H. Ingalls, 1968:12)

  220                After the rain a gentle breeze springs up
                        while the sky is overlaid with clouds;
                        one sees the horizon suddenly in a flash of lightning;
                        moon and stars and planets are asleep;
                        a heady scent is borne from kadambas wet with rain
                        and the sound of frogs spreads out in utter darkness.
                        How can the lonely lover spend these nights?
                                                                                                                [Yogeshvara]
