Dashaka 55
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
O Lord! Thou then made up Thy mind to drive away the fierce serpent from the waters. Thou quickly approached and got up on a Kadamba tree standing on the bank of the river, with its leaves withered due to the poisonous breeze.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Thou climbed that tree with Thy lotus like splenderous charming feet resembling tender leaves, and with a long leap jumped far out into the deep waters with swirling fierce waves.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
When, Thou the bearer of the weight of the three worlds, jumped, Thy immense weight caused the waters to swirl and swell. On the river bed an area of a hundred bows (yards) submerged, as a sudden roar arose from the river. |
