The Ninth Canto
217
Where is Dharma and where is anger? You are laboring in vain, O foolish one! You wish to make the immortal and the poison one. ||132||
Therefore, I will destroy your arrogant pride today. I will uproot the Kailasa mountain and throw it into the ocean along with you. ||133||
Then, he meditated on all the Vidyaas, and they surrounded him. Then, Dashaanan, like Indra, assumed a terrifying form. Entering the Patala, breaking through the earth, with the forest of his mighty arms, he spread darkness all around. He was intent on doing evil. ||134-135||
Then, Dashaanan, whose eyes were red with anger, and whose face was filled with anger, began to lift Kailasa with his arms. ||136||
Finally, the Kailasa mountain, which was shaking the earth violently, moved from its place. At that time, it was holding long, hanging snakes that were spitting poison. The intoxicated elephants that had fallen into the clutches of lions were escaping. The frightened groups of deer were standing with their ears erect, looking around. The cracked earth had drunk all the water of the springs, so their streams had dried up. The great trees were falling down all around, making a loud noise. The groups of rocks were breaking and making a loud cracking sound. And large stones were falling down with a thud, filling the entire world with their sound. ||137-140||
The broken earth had drunk all the water of the ocean, so it dried up. The rivers that flowed towards the ocean were flowing backwards, devoid of purity. ||141||
The Pramathas looked in all directions in fear, and were filled with great wonder. They began to say, "What is this? What is this? Ha-ha-hum-hi!" ||142||
The Apsaras, frightened, left their beautiful arbors of vines. The flocks of birds flew up into the sky, making a chattering sound. ||143||
With the laughter of Dashaanan's ten mouths, which were constantly emerging from the Patala, the sky split open along with the directions. ||144||
