The sky thus became dark, the rays of the sun and the moon disappeared on account of the incessant downpour. And upon Indra's causing this downpour, the Nagas became exceedingly delighted.
मेघस्तनितनिर्घोषैर्विद्युत्पवनकम्पितैः। तैर्मेधैः सततासारं वर्षद्भिरनिशं तदा॥ नष्टचन्द्रार्ककिरणमम्बरं समपद्यत। नागानामुत्तमो हर्षस्तथा वर्षति वासवे॥
