आपक्षुक्षुभिरे चैव चकम्पे च वसुन्धरा । व्यद्रवन् गिरयश्चापि द्यौ: पफाल च सर्वश:,समुद्र आदिका जल क्षुब्ध हो उठा, पृथ्वी काँपने लगी, पर्वत पिघलने लगे और आकाश सब ओरसे फटने-सा लगा
āpakṣu-kṣubhire caiva cakampe ca vasundharā | vyadravan girayaś cāpi dyauḥ paphāla ca sarvaśaḥ ||
سمندر اور دوسرے پانیوں میں سخت ہیجان اٹھا؛ زمین لرزنے لگی؛ پہاڑ بھی گویا پگھل کر اِدھر اُدھر دوڑنے لگے؛ اور آسمان ہر سمت سے پھٹتا ہوا محسوس ہوا۔

Vāyu describes terrifying portents: waters churn, the earth shakes, mountains seem to melt and move, and the sky appears to裂 open. This functions as an omen-like description, intensifying the scene and signaling an extraordinary turning point.
