SUMMARY: The transcendental goddesses, who were roaming about in the space, were praising the Full moon by saying “if this moon were not to have the darks spots, he would have definitely been on a par with the face of his most beautiful sister Mahalakshmi”; the full moon, who was being adored in that manner by the goddesses appeared in the sky by that time.

This is a description of the night that set in after the sunset. Description of full moon is one of the features of a Mahakavya without which a work cannot be rated as “Mahakavya”.

KhEchareebhihi means goddesses. Vidhu means the Moon.

SUMMARY: The ruddy goose (Bird Chakravaka) and the Lotus, which became very nostalgic in the night due to the departure of Sun and suffered from great pain with their contact with the Moon; the soft, white water lily and various birds such as Chakora were happy with the appearance of Moon in the sky. Has the Alimighty not created anything that is pleasant to all beings?

It is an established fact that Lotus flowers blossom as soon as the Sun rises; similarly, the ruddy goose loves the dawn. But, the Chakora and other species of birds and the white water lily dislike Sun. In other words, the Chakora and other bird species as well as the white water lily love Moon and Moonlight. It is sarcastically stated that the Lord does not seem to create something that is loved or is pleasant to all beings. Even Sun and Moon have certain boundaries which they cannot forego. There are limitations for everyone, including Lord Brahma, Indra and so on, not to speak of human beings.

This stanza also symbolically mentions that except Sri Hari, no other being, including gods, goddesses and deities, is complete in all respects. Everything and everyone will have some defect/demerit or the other.

Demons like Duryodhana hate even that Almighty, who is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient.
