* * *
When she is descending down from Heaven
She has acquired the luster of stars and
Spread over to all quarters of the world.
When she spread over to all quarters, she has
Covered all beings of nature by her luster, and
Caused loss to the darkness of the earth
The goddess of night has accepted
The goddess of dawn as her sister and
Both chased away the darkness with their luster.
When the goddess of night kisses our eyes
Just as a bird in the nest we take our rest and
May the goddess be a benefactress to all beings!
These hamlets fall under the spell of silence
These beasts, birds and eagles are dreaming in a silent sleep
Even the hills, dales, trees and streams are quiet in silence.
O Night! Send those werewolves far away from us!
O Night! Send those thieves far away from us!
O Night! shall you be auspicious in a special way for us!
Here I see the darkness in her black sapphire attire
She is concealing many things from the view of my eyes
O Dawn! Clear all my debts and send her far away from me.
O Night! Maiden of the Heaven! Fare well to Thee!
As you are leaving this place, please accept my hymn.
As a beautiful garland of lilies to adorn thy lovely breast..

Beautiful description of dawn edging night out of view. " When the goddess of night kisses our eyes" I like the thought of that. Beautiful, just beautiful, Venkat. Peace to you.
