They forgot to rejoice or make merry, and the traders did not spread (their stores), and stalls did not grace the place, and the householders did not cook, and people did not rejoice on recovering lost property or gaining a profuse accession of wealth, and mothers did not feel any delight on beholding their first-born.
न चाहृष्यन् न चामोदन् वणिजो न प्रसारयन्। न चाशोभन्त पण्यानि नापचन् गृहमेधिनः॥ नष्टं दृष्ट्वा नाभ्यनन्दन विपुलं वा धनागमम्। पुत्रं प्रथमजं लब्ध्वा जननी नाप्यनन्दत ॥
