Damstrā-karāl&ni ca te mukhgni drstvaiva kālānala-sannihhāni
Diśo na jāne na labhe ca śarina prasida deveśa fdgan-nivūśa

25. Having seen Thy mouths, terrible with tusks, and resembling Kālāgni, I know not the (four) quarters, nor do I find peace. Have mercy, O Lord of the Devas, O Abode of the universe!

Having seen Thy mouths, terrible, hideous, with tusks, and resembling Kālāgni, the fire which consumes the worlds at the time of final dissolution (pralaya), / know not the (four) quarters: I can­ not distinguish the east and the west and I am confounded about the different quarters; therefore, nor do I find peace, comfortHence, have mercy, be gracious, O Lord of the Devas, O Abode of the um'verse!
