Verse 63.15

उष्णमन्तर्दधे सद्यः स्निग्धा ददृशिरे घनाः। ततो जहषिरे सर्वे भेकसारङ्गबर्हिणः॥ क्लिनपक्षोत्तराः स्नाताः कृच्छ्रादिव पतत्रिणः। वृष्टिवातावधूताग्रान् पादपानभिपेदिरे॥

uṣṇamantardadhe sadyaḥ snigdhā dadṛśire ghanāḥ| tato jahaṣire sarve bhekasāraṅgabarhiṇaḥ|| klinapakṣottarāḥ snātāḥ kṛcchrādiva patatriṇaḥ| vṛṣṭivātāvadhūtāgrān pādapānabhipedire||

English Meaning

The heat was immediately dispelled, and the gelid clouds snowed themselves; and frogs and Sārangas and peacocks began to rejoice; and, finding it unpleasant, the feathered ones bathed and with the surface of their plumage shrunk up from the wet, took refuge in trees shaken by the wind and rain.
