sanskrit

When, at twilight, the clouds take on colors like those of peacocks, parrots, sparrows, and chataka birds, stealing the glow of hibiscus flowers and lotuses; when they resemble waves of water, mountains, crocodiles, tortoises, boars, and fish, gathered in great masses—then, without much delay, they bestow abundant rain.
