Valmiki Ramayana — Kishkindha Kanda

Verse 61.8

न च दिग्ज्ञायते याम्या न चाग्नेयी न वारुणी। युगान्ते नियतो लोको हतो दग्ध इवाग्निना ॥

na ca digjñāyate yāmyā na cāgneyī na vāruṇī| yugānte niyato loko hato dagdha ivāgninā ||

English Meaning

We knew not the south, or the west, or the quarter presided over by Fire;' and the world that was still burning at the end of a Yuga, appeared (to us) as if it had been consumed quite.? 1. South-east. 2. The passage is obscure. This is however, all the explanation that the commentator has to give.
