Verse 50.8

अस्माच्चापि बिलाद्धंसाः क्रौञ्चाश्च सह सारसैः॥ जलार्द्राश्चक्रवाकाश्च निष्पतन्ति स्म सर्वशः। नूनं सलिलवानत्र कूपो वा यदि वा हृदः॥ तथा चेमे बिलद्वारे स्निग्धास्तिष्ठन्ति पादपाः।

asmāccāpi bilāddhaṃsāḥ krauñcāśca saha sārasaiḥ|| jalārdrāścakravākāśca niṣpatanti sma sarvaśaḥ| nūnaṃ salilavānatra kūpo vā yadi vā hṛdaḥ|| tathā ceme biladvāre snigdhāstiṣṭhanti pādapāḥ|

English Meaning

And from yonder cave come out swarms of and and kraunchas and chakravākas, drenched with water. For certain here is a well or a watery expanse. And at the mouth of the cave there are these cool trees.'
