Verse 7.81.78

मत्स्याश्चरन्ति च मरौ वरवारिणीव व्योम्नि स्थिराणि नगराणि भुवीव भान्ति ।
खे भूधरा गगनसंक्षयवारिवाहमुत्पातवातपरिवृत्तगिरिस्थितं तत् ॥ ७८ ॥

matsyāścaranti ca marau varavāriṇīva vyomni sthirāṇi nagarāṇi bhuvīva bhānti |
khe bhūdharā gaganasaṃkṣayavārivāhamutpātavātaparivṛttagiristhitaṃ tat || 78 ||

Fishes skim in the desert air (or etherial desert), as they swim in the watery plain; and cities are situated in empty air, as firmly as they are fixed on solid earth. The waters are raised to heaven by the clouds, which are again driven back by the winds, to pour their waters on mountain tops.
