taṁ śabdaṁ sahasā śrutvā mṛga-pakṣi-samīritam | jalārda-pakṣā vihagāḥ samutpetuḥ sahasraśaḥ ||
Translation
Vaiśampāyana said: Hearing at once that alarm-raising cry, stirred up among the beasts and birds, thousands of birds suddenly took flight. Their wings were wet with water, and in fear they rose into the sky—an omen-like disturbance in the forest’s natural order.
