sa-kṣmāntarikṣaṁ sa-divaṁ sa-bhā-gaṇaṁ

sa eka evorvarito mahā-munir
babhrāma vikṣipya jaṭā jaḍāndha-vat

WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

The water inundated the earth, outer space, heaven and the celestial region. Indeed, the entire expanse of the universe was flooded in all directions, and out of all its inhabitants only Mārkaṇḍeya remained. His matted hair scattered, the great sage wandered about alone in the water as if dumb and blind.
