The Deities seem to be crying in the temple, lamenting and perspiring. They seem about to leave. All the cities, villages, towns, gardens, mines and hermitages are now devoid of beauty and bereft of all happiness. I do not know what sort of calamities are now awaiting us.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

The deities seem to be weeping, perspiring and moving about. The populated areas, villages, towns, gardens and hermitages are devoid of splendor and bliss. Why are they showing us such suffering?

Commentary (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Daivatāni means deities.
