शनैः साधु भवान्यातु ब्रह्महत्यामनुस्मरन् । न दृश्यते रविस्तात न दिशो न च खं खग॥५-११०-११॥
Proceed slowly and carefully, recalling the gravity of brahma-hatyā. The sun is not visible, dear one—nor the directions, nor even the sky, O bird.
english translation
तम एव तु पश्यामि शरीरं ते न लक्षये । मणीव जात्यौ पश्यामि चक्षुषी तेऽहमण्डज॥५-११०-१२॥
I see only darkness; I do not discern your body. I see your two eyes, O egg-born one, like a pair of gemstones.
english translation
शरीरे तु न पश्यामि तव चैवात्मनश्च ह । पदे पदे तु पश्यामि सलिलादग्निमुत्थितम्॥५-११०-१३॥
I do not see your body—nor, indeed, my own. Yet at every step I see fire arising from the water.
english translation
स मे निर्वाप्य सहसा चक्षुषी शाम्यते पुनः । तन्निवर्त महान्कालो गच्छतो विनतात्मज॥५-११०-१४॥
Having suddenly cooled me, my eyes become calm again. Turn back from this—much time is passing as you proceed, O son of Vinatā.
english translation
न मे प्रयोजनं किंचिद्गमने पन्नगाशन । संनिवर्त महावेग न वेगं विषहामि ते॥५-११०-१५॥
I have no purpose in continuing this journey, O eater of serpents. Turn back, O swift one; I cannot endure your speed.
