मौसलोत्पत्तिः — The Birth of the Musala and the Sages’ Pronouncement
चीचीकूचीति वाशन्ति सारिका वृष्णिवेश्मसु । नोपशाम्यति शब्दक्ष स दिवारात्रमेव हि,वृष्णिवंशियोंके घरोंमें मैनाएँ दिन-रात चें-चें किया करती थीं। उनकी आवाज कभी एक क्षणके लिये भी बंद नहीं होती थी

বৈশম্পায়নে ক’লে— বৃষ্ণিসকলৰ ঘৰত শালিকা (মাইনা) পখীয়ে “চীচীকূচী” বুলি দিন-ৰাতি অবিৰত চিঞৰি থাকিল; সেই কৰ্কশ শব্দ এক মুহূৰ্তৰ বাবেও থমকি নাথাকিল।

The verse highlights how moral and social collapse is often preceded by signs of disorder in the environment; in epic ethics, such omens underscore the inevitability of consequences (karma) when a community’s restraint and harmony have been lost.
As the Mausala Parva moves toward the destruction of the Vṛṣṇi/Yādava community, unnatural and relentless bird-cries are described within their homes, functioning as a forewarning that calamity is imminent.
