क्षीरोदं समतिक्रम्य तदा द्रक्ष्यथ वानराः॥ जलोदं सागरं शीघ्रं सर्वभूतभयावहम्। तत्र तत्कोपजं तेजः कृतं हयमुखं महत्॥ अस्याद्भुतं महावेगमोदनं सचराचरम्। तत्र विक्रोशतां नादो भूतानां सागरौकसाम्। श्रूयते चासमर्थानां दृष्ट्वाभूद् वडवामुखम् ॥

English Meaning
Leaving behind Ksiroda, O monkeys, you will soon after behold the Jaloda sea, striking terror into all beings. There presideth that mighty ireborn Energy of him*. (embodied in) the mouth of a mule. This wondrous (universe) containing mobile and immobile things and fraught with great impetus, is the aliment of this Energy. There are heard the cries of feeble creatures inhabiting the sea, who began to wail on witnessing the mouth of the mule. *Sage Aurvi.
