भीमान्धकारगहने सुमहत्यरण्ये नृत्यन्त्यदर्शितपरस्परमेव मत्ताः ।
यक्षा यथा प्रवितते परमाम्बरेऽन्तरेवं स्फुरन्ति सुबहूनि महाजगन्ति ॥ ३४ ॥

bhīmāndhakāragahane sumahatyaraṇye nṛtyantyadarśitaparasparameva mattāḥ |
yakṣā yathā pravitate paramāmbare'ntarevaṃ sphuranti subahūni mahājaganti || 34 ||

There are many other large worlds, rolling through the immense space of vacuum, as the giddy goblins of Yakshas revel about in the dark and dismal deserts and forests, unseen by others.
