> mṛtyu-dūtaḥ kapoto 'yam\
> ulūkaḥ kampayan manaḥ\
> pratyulūkaś ca kuhvānair\
> viśvaṁ vai śūnyam icchataḥ

*mṛtyu*—death; *dūtaḥ*—messenger of; *kapotaḥ*—pigeon; *ayam*—this; *ulūkaḥ*—owl; *kampayan*—trembling; *manaḥ*—mind; *pratyulūkaḥ*—the rivals of owls (crows); *ca*—and; *kuhvānaiḥ*—shrieking scream; *viśvam*—the cosmos; *vai*—either; *śūnyam*—void; *icchataḥ*—wishing.

**Just see! This pigeon is like a messenger of death. The shrieks of the owls and their rival crows make my heart tremble. It appears that they want to make a void of the whole universe.**
