अविषहा: समुद्रो हि बहुसत्वगणालय: । महासत्त्वशतोद्धासी नभसो5पि विशिष्यते,कौआ सोचने लगा, “मैं थक जानेपर इस जलराशिमें कहाँ उतरूँगा? बहुत-से जल- जन्तुओंका निवासस्थान समुद्र मेरे लिये असहाय है। असंख्य महाप्राणियोंसे उद्धासित होनेवाला यह महासागर तो आकाशसे भी बढ़कर है”
Translation
The crow thought to himself: “When weariness overtakes me, where shall I alight upon this vast expanse of water? The ocean, abode of countless creatures of the deep, offers me no refuge. This mighty sea, thronged with innumerable great beings, surpasses even the sky in immensity.”
