ऋषिसर्गवर्णन (Rishi-Sarga Varṇana) — Account of the Creation/Origination of Sages and Beings
ते तु तद्वचन श्रुत्वा प्याताः सर्वतो दिशम् / अधापि म निवर्त्तन्ते समुद्रस्था इवापगाः
te tu tadvacana śrutvā pyātāḥ sarvato diśam / adhāpi ma nivarttante samudrasthā ivāpagāḥ
Hearing those words, they departed in every direction. Even to this day they have not returned—like rivers that, having entered the ocean, do not come back.
