काश्चिदाकाशकोशस्थाः काश्चिच्चोपलकोशगाः ।
काश्चित्सकुण्डकोशस्थाः काश्चित्खे खगवत्स्थिताः ॥ १६ ॥

kāścidākāśakośasthāḥ kāściccopalakośagāḥ |
kāścitsakuṇḍakośasthāḥ kāścitkhe khagavatsthitāḥ || 16 ||

What sorts of beings settle the etherial sphere, and what are they that live in the midst of rocks and stones; what are they that dwell in the vessels and basins of water, and what be they that people the air like the aerial fowls of air.
