From the sea the droplet sped that flew, seen by the vulture's eye. The radiant one with shining sorrow lamented; on the third he made a path in rajas, beloved.
When (Vena as) the drop of rain approaches the firmament, contemplating (all things) with the eye ofthe hawk in the supporting (firmament), then the sun, shining with brilliant radiance, makes the precious(showers) in the third sphere.
When as a spark he cometh near the ocean, still looking with a vulture's eye to heaven, His lustre, joying in its own bright splendour, maketh dear glories in the lowest region.
