Verse 3.38.24

फणास्फुटकतूणीरकुञ्जकूजत्समीरणम् ।
शवराशिपलालौघतल्पसुप्तपिशाचकम् ॥ २४ ॥

phaṇāsphuṭakatūṇīrakuñjakūjatsamīraṇam |
śavarāśipalālaughatalpasuptapiśācakam || 24 ||

The winds were rustling in the orifice of the quivers, like the hissing of arrowy snakes, or as the whistling of the breeze in the holes of bamboo trees; and the Pisachas were rolling on beds of dead bodies, as upon their beddings of straws.
