आपूर्यत मही चापि सलिलेन समन्ततः । रसातलमनुप्राप्त शीतलं विमलं जलम्,पृथ्वीपर सब ओर पानी-ही-पानी भर गया। वह शीतल और निर्मल जल रसातलतक पहुँच गया
āpūryata mahī cāpi salilena samantataḥ | rasātalam anuprāptaṁ śītalaṁ vimalaṁ jalam |
पृथ्वीही सर्व बाजूंनी पाण्याने भरून गेली. ते शीतल व निर्मळ जल रसातलापर्यंत पोहोचले.
