Shloka 14
ततो वायुर्महाघोष: क्षोभयन् सर्वसागरान् । वियत्स्थो जनयन् मेघाज्जलधारासमाकुलान्,फिर तो बड़ी भारी आवाजके साथ प्रचण्ड वायु चलने लगी। उसने समस्त समुद्रोंको क्षुब्ध करते हुए आकाशमें स्थित हो मूसलाधार पानी बरसानेवाले मेघोंको उत्पन्न किया
tato vāyur mahāghoṣaḥ kṣobhayan sarvasāgarān | viyatstho janayan meghāj jaladhārāsamākulān ||
