20. The watches of the night adorn the celestial expanse with a curtain of darkness. The cool-rayed moon (śītalaruciḥ) enriches it with abundant camphor-like rays. The day (divasaḥ) embellishes it with a fresh garment for viewing the sun. The sky (dyauḥ) graces it with masses of star-flowers. All seasons (sarvartavaḥ) bedeck it with clouds, frost, water, and various blossoms. In this manner, these entities beautify the courtyard of space (vyomāṅgaṇam) in the three worlds (tribhuvane) for the two masters (nāthayoḥ), whose very essence is Time and its constituent divisions (kālakalātmanoḥ).
