मृगाः शकुन्ताश्च वदन्ति घोरं हस्त्यश्वमुख्येषु निशामुखेषु । घोराणि रूपाणि तथैव चाग्निर्वर्णान्बहून्पुष्यति घोररूपान् । मनुष्यलोकक्षपणोऽथ घोरो नो चेदनुप्राप्त इहान्तकः स्यात्॥५-७१-३५॥

Beasts and birds utter dreadful cries as night approaches, especially among elephants and horses. Likewise, fire displays many fearful forms and colours. Unless a terrible destroyer of the human world has already arrived here, such portents would not appear.
