विततत्वात्तु देहस्य न मही याति सम्प्लवम् ॥
tasyopari jalaughasya mahatī nairiva sthitā /
vitatatvāt tu dehasya na mahī yāti saṃplavam

Sarga/Pratisarga: cosmographic stabilization—Earth is established so further differentiation (mountains, continents, lokas) can proceed.
‘Vast body’ can be read as the all-pervading field of consciousness/order that prevents the mind-world from being overwhelmed by the ‘waters’ of undifferentiated potential.
