बीनामुपसरं दृष्ट्वा तेऽन्योन्योपहचा गुहाम् । |
flocks of birds emerging like herds of animals from the opening of a cave.
60. On seeing the constant how of birds, they, inviting one another, entered the cave, intent on a fight (if needed) and desirous of finding a water reservoir,
61. Calling upon their friends (and) desirous of killing (quenching their) thirst (they) entered the opening of the cave that resembled a cloud of darkness,
62. Therein they who had shoulders as stout as iron blocks saw in the open space beyond the door, on the portico of a palatial house, a lady with graceful limbs .
63. Smiling, she whose lustre was like the moon's that subdued (others), exclaimed (extended) welcome to the monkeys whose arms were long like bars and whose footsteps crushed down grass-stalks.
64. She delighted (entertained) those excellent (monkeys) who had come in groups and resorted to the mountain-cave, with various fruits that had divers favours and with water, sweet and cool.
