आसां तु पयसा मिश्रं पयो निर्मथ्य सागरे । मन्थानं मन्दरं कृत्वा देवैरसुरसंहितैः॥५-१००-११॥

Then, mixing their milk with milk and churning it in the ocean—having made Mandara the churning-staff—this was done by the devas together with the asuras.

उद्धृता वारुणी लक्ष्मीरमृतं चापि मातले । उच्चैःश्रवाश्चाश्वराजो मणिरत्नं च कौस्तुभम्॥५-१००-१२॥

O Mātali, there were brought forth Vāruṇī, the divine liquor, Lakṣmī, and also amṛta, the nectar of immortality; and Uccaiḥśravas, the king of horses, as well as the jewel Kaustubha.

सुधाहारेषु च सुधां स्वधाभोजिषु च स्वधाम् । अमृतं चामृताशेषु सुरभिः क्षरते पयः॥५-१००-१३॥

Among those who subsist on sudhā there is sudhā; among those who partake of svadhā there is svadhā; among those whose remainder is amṛta there is amṛta; and Surabhi yields milk in abundance.

अत्र गाथा पुरा गीता रसातलनिवासिभिः । पौराणी श्रूयते लोके गीयते या मनीषिभिः॥५-१००-१४॥

Here an ancient gāthā was formerly sung by the dwellers of Rasātala; it is a traditional, paurāṇī verse heard in the world and recited by the learned.

न नागलोके न स्वर्गे न विमाने त्रिविष्टपे । परिवासः सुखस्तादृग्रसातलतले यथा॥५-१००-१५॥

Neither in the Nāga-world, nor in heaven, nor in the celestial mansions of Triviṣṭapa is there a mode of dwelling as comfortable as that in the depths of Rasātala.
