रसातलांते सलिलं जलांते पन्नगाधिपाः । तदंते पुनराकाशमाकाशांते पुनर्जलम् ॥ ३० ॥
rasātalāṃte salilaṃ jalāṃte pannagādhipāḥ | tadaṃte punarākāśamākāśāṃte punarjalam || 30 ||
À l’extrémité de Rasātala se trouve l’eau ; à l’extrémité de cette eau sont les seigneurs des serpents. Au-delà d’eux, de nouveau, est l’espace (ākāśa), et au bout de l’espace se trouve encore l’eau.

Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: none
It presents a Puranic map of reality—nether realms, cosmic waters, serpent-lords, and ākāśa—pointing to the vast, layered order of creation that the seeker should transcend in pursuit of moksha.
By emphasizing how immense and structured the cosmos is, it implicitly directs the devotee to take refuge in the Supreme beyond these layers—supporting Vishnu-bhakti as the sure means to cross cosmic complexity.
While not a direct Vedanga lesson, it aligns with Purāṇic cosmography used alongside Jyotiṣa (Vedic astrology) and calendrical thought—reinforcing how traditional world-models inform dharma, vrata timing, and sacred orientation.
