Shloka 26
The Destruction of Dakṣa’s Sacrifice
नद्यो नदाः समुद्राश्च द्वीपाश्च सह पर्वतैः । ग्राम्यारण्याश्च पशवो यदिङ्गं यच्च नेङ्गति
nadyo nadāḥ samudrāśca dvīpāśca saha parvataiḥ | grāmyāraṇyāśca paśavo yadiṅgaṃ yacca neṅgati
నదులు, వాగులు, సముద్రాలు, పర్వతాలతో కూడిన ద్వీపాలు; గ్రామ్యమూ అరణ్యమూ అయిన పశువులు—చలించేది, చలించనిదీ అన్నీ సృష్టించబడినవి.
