kākolūkairgṛdhrabhāsai rāśibhūtaiścalairvṛtam |
nṛtyadbhirḍākinīsaṅghaistaraṅgairiva vāridhim || 24 ||

Fragments of clouds, beset by groups in the shapes of crows, owls and vultures, were flying about in the air; and there were seen some monsters also, as Dakinis heaving their heads in the forms of huge surges, in the cloudy ocean of the sky.
