Adhyaya 18

हिन्दी अर्थ

पुत्र उस तीर्थमें श्राद्ध करता है, उसके पितर महाप्रलय कालतक तृप्त रहते हैं। चरु नामवाली नदी यज्ञ पर्वतसे निकली है। पूर्वकालमें अपने पुरोहित बृहस्पतिजीके साथ देवराज इन्द्रने यहाँ

English

When the world was completely burnt by the Suns originating from Isvara, with the seven oceans rendered dry along with (the burning of) the seven continents, huge clouds issued forth from his mouth. When the world was dried up by the Suns and burnt down by Kalagni, clouds issued forth from the mouth of Sankara. Terrible clouds having features compa- rable to the weapon of Indra (i.e. Rainbow), urged by the most excellent Isana made the universe completely dark. Some of the clouds had the lustre of a blue lotus; somewhere they had the lustre of collyrium; some resembled cow's milk, Kunda flower and the moon; others resembled the eyelets on the feathers of a peacock; and some had the lustre of smokeless fire. Some clouds had the forms resembling great mountains; some could be compared to shoals of great fishes; some had excellent forms of huge elephants; and some clouds resembled great peaks. Some were similar in form to the moving waves and billows; some were akin to the domes in a big city; some resembled great towers and ornamental gateways; others ap- peared to be adorned at the extremities by comets, firebrands and thunderbolts characterized by lightning streaks. A Gana of Rudra named Samvartaka got his limbs concealed. The Lord showered limitlessly and made the universe one vast expanse of water.
