वातायनोदरगवाक्षकवाटकक्षाद्वाराननैरिह पुराण्युदिते पठन्ति ।

śvabhrābhrakandaradarīvanaveṇurandhravargeṇa mandara ivāmṛtasindhumindum || 18 ||

Lo here the city smiling under the rising moon, and singing in praise of that ambrosial luminary, through all its windows, doorways and openings, as it were from the mouths of its females; and responsive to his eulogy sang by the Mandara mountain, from the many mouths of its caves and caverns, and the pipes of hallow bamboos.
