लोकालोकाचलेऽरण्ये कल्पाभ्रौघमिव स्थितम् ॥ २४ ॥

kāle kākolavalayaṃ mañjarījālamālitam |
lokālokācale'raṇye kalpābhraughamiva sthitam || 24 ||

After some time I came to descry at a distance a body of ravens, sitting in rows like leaves of the branches, and resembling the streaks of sable clouds on either sides of the Lokaloka—horizon.
