kracin magno mahāvarte
taralais tāḍitaḥ kvacit
yādobhir bhakṣyate kvāpi
svayam anyonya-ghātibhiḥ
kvacic chokaṁ kvacin mohaṁ
kvacid duḥkhaṁ sukhaṁ bhayam
kvacin mṛtyum avāpnoti
vyādhy-ādibhir utārditaḥ

WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

At times he was engulfed by the great whirlpools, sometimes he was beaten by the mighty waves, and at other times the aquatic monsters threatened to devour him as they attacked one another. Sometimes he felt lamentation, bewilderment, misery, happiness or fear, and at other times he experienced such terrible illness and pain that he felt himself dying.
