उठी रेनु रबि गयउ छपाई। मरुत थकित बसुधा अकुलाई॥ पनव निसान घोर रव बाजहिं। प्रलय समय के घन जनु गाजहिं॥ ४ ॥

Meaning
So much dust rose that the sun became hidden. Then suddenly the wind seemed to stop, and the earth grew restless. Drums and war-timbrels thundered with a fearsome sound, like clouds roaring at the time of dissolution.
