अरण्यान्या अन्तं द्विरदतुरगैर्यान्ति मनुजा लभन्ते नौकाधैः कतिपयदिनः पारमुदधेः । भुवोऽप्यन्तं यान्ति विविधस्थयानादिनिवहैने संसारस्यान्तं विपुलतरयत्नेऽपि विहिते ॥२२॥
Meaning :- People can go to the other end of very great forests or of even the most formidable desert of Sahara, through the help of the camels or some such agencies. A Pacific ocean or an ocean like the Svayambhuramana can also be crossed by some such means as the boat or the ship or the steamer. The gods can go to the other end of the earth by their divine power though it is generally believed that no human beings can do so. But the worldly forest or the worldly ocean is so extensive that human beings cannot cross it easily even though more efforts to do so are put forth by them. (22)
