ततः स पृथिवीं भिनत्त्वा प्रविश्य च रसातलम् । देवदानवयक्षाणां भयं जनयते महत्,तत्पश्चात् पृथ्वीका भेदन कर वह अग्नि रसातलतक पहुँच जाती है तथा देवता, दानव और यक्षोंके लिये महान् भय उपस्थित कर देती है
Transliteration
tataḥ sa pṛthivīṃ bhinittvā praviśya ca rasātalam | devadānavayakṣāṇāṃ bhayaṃ janayate mahat |
Translation
Then it cleaves the earth and enters Rasātala, arousing great fear among the gods, the Dānavas, and the Yakṣas. The narration underscores how a single overwhelming force, once unleashed, can disturb the moral and cosmic balance and terrify even powerful beings.
