Verse 43.17

मुहूरूज़पथं गत्वा पपात वसुधां पुनः। तच्छंकरशिरोभ्रष्टं भ्रष्टं भूमितले पुनः॥ व्यरोचत तदा तोयं निर्मलं गतकल्मषम्।

muhūrūzapathaṃ gatvā papāta vasudhāṃ punaḥ| tacchaṃkaraśirobhraṣṭaṃ bhraṣṭaṃ bhūmitale punaḥ|| vyarocata tadā toyaṃ nirmalaṃ gatakalmaṣam|

English Meaning

Sometimes ascending an upland, it descended it no a dell. And the pellucid and pure water first descending upon Śankara's head, and thence on to the earth, appeared exceedingly beautiful.
