आर्द्रं च पल्लवं न स्म दृश्यते पृथिवीतले ॥ कुतो जलं विदृश्येत जीवानां प्राणधारकम् ॥ ५ ॥

Not a single juicy tender sprout was seen on the face of the earth. How could there be a water, the sustainer of living beings.

english translation

ArdraM ca pallavaM na sma dRzyate pRthivItale ॥ kuto jalaM vidRzyeta jIvAnAM prANadhArakam ॥ 5 ॥
