तिमिसिताम्बुधरं मणितारकं स्फटिकचन्द्रं अनम्बुशरद्द्युतिः । फणिफणौपलरश्मिशिखिग्रहं कुटिलगेशवियच्च चकार यः ॥ १२-०५ ॥
Its huge white waves looked like clouds; its gems looked like stars; its crystals looked like the Moon; and its long bright serpents bearing gems in their hoods looked like comets and thus the whole sea looked like the sky.
