Translation
The rays of the sun are declining, and the stars appear to be fighting amongst themselves. Confused living entities appear to be ablaze and weeping.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
See the sun with weak light fighting with other planets in the sky, [Note: Astrologically this means that the sun is very close to the other planets in the sky. This is not auspicious.]and see the earth and heavens ablaze with the followers of Śiva along with other beings.
Commentary (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
See the blazing earth and heavens (rodasī) with Śiva’s attendants mixed with other living beings (sa-saṅkulaiḥ).
