The sun, O king, its disk shrouded in dust, rayless at rising, was ever seen surrounded by headless phantoms. And dreadful halos appeared around the moon and sun — three-colored, with dark and rough edges, of ashen-crimson radiance. These and many other portents foreboding terror were seen day after day, O king, filling the heart with dread.

The celestial luminaries, those sources of light and order, grow dim — the sun without rays and surrounded by phantoms, the moon and sun encircled by ominous halos: the very sky darkens before the coming destruction. Thus it is shown that the decline of a great lineage is reflected in the darkening of the heavens above. The portents "were seen day after day, filling the heart with dread": calamity does not strike suddenly, but makes itself known well in advance, testing vigilance and faith. The verse teaches that in the higher world as in the human heart, an approaching disaster casts its shadow before it arrives; and that these signs are to be met not with blind terror but with clear-eyed acceptance of the inevitable, remembering that even the dimming of the luminaries unfolds within an order governed by the supreme will.
