Verse 7.115.4

दशाशाः शैलानामुपरि परितः प्रावृतघना घनश्यामाकाराः खगकलकलालापलपिताः ।
लतामुक्तैः पुष्पैर्ललितवनलेखाभुजलता हसन्त्यस्ते राजन्भवनवनिता भान्ति पुरतः ॥ ४ ॥

daśāśāḥ śailānāmupari paritaḥ prāvṛtaghanā ghanaśyāmākārāḥ khagakalakalālāpalapitāḥ |
latāmuktaiḥ puṣpairlalitavanalekhābhujalatā hasantyaste rājanbhavanavanitā bhānti purataḥ || 4 ||

The ten sides of the sky, which are spread over the tops of mountains; appear as the royal consorts, looking on thee from their lofty edifices, and smiling gladly at thy success. The many-coloured and roaring clouds in the sky, resembling the variegated birds of air, warbling their notes on high; and the rows of trees which are dropping down the showers of flowers from high, appear as the arms of heavenly nymphs, shedding their blessings upon thy head with their hands.
