This ocean water, which has been severely beaten by wild elephants, is like a forest with wild elephants roaring loudly. It is adorned with the beauty of the sound of mridanga and is quickly purifying the shore, leaping in all directions. || 165 ||
This ocean water is very frightening, with many fish swimming in it, covered with broken pieces of shells, with a harsh sound, with the underworld held in its holes, and with the fear that it is filled with groups of waves, as if it were touched by snakes that have shed their skins. || 166 ||
Here, the wind, shaking the forest, bringing down cool drops of water, and carrying the fragrance of fragrant flowers from the trees, is slowly flowing towards the shore. And here, this fierce wind is blowing, shaking the bodies of large fish, and making a terrifying sound with the waves. || 167 ||

These lands on the edge of this ocean are very beautiful, adorned with the brilliance of pearls scattered from the waves, and the wealth generated by the offering of flowers. The gods, along with their beautiful goddesses, serve these lands, considering them to be the beauty of another heaven, and they are happy, sitting under the shade of the trees on the shore. || 168 ||
These crocodiles and other aquatic creatures, considering this ocean, which has infinite wealth, to be their father who nourishes their bellies, are fighting with each other, wanting to get more of their share of his wealth, like sons, shouting with the sound of their roars, in front of their father. Alas! May such wealth be cursed! || 199 ||
These lands are adorned with various kinds of pleasures, enjoyed by those who are free from worries, and are adorned with pure white flags on the tops of their chariots. They are adorned with jewels and oceans of water, and they have no separation from this world, even though they have many underworld openings and are constantly being consumed. || 200 ||
This wicked fish, wanting to fight, is pulling him towards the land. However, since both of them have equal strength, neither of them can win. This is right, because in this world, there is no decision of victory or defeat between those who have equal strength. || 194 ||
