48. Alas, O ocean of milk, master of the pārijāta tree, Lakṣmī, the moon, and ambrosia! Alas, O ocean of curds, O shore-forest sprung from the butter mountain! Alas, O ocean of honey, O coconut mountain, served by the Yogīśvarīs! Where will you all go now? And where have the women gone, who became like mirrors for the directions?

49. Alas, O mountain where pure golden vines of wish-granting trees are bound without interruption! O Krauñcadvīpa, where the dense expanse of directions is adorned with Brahmā's swans and lotus lakes! O Puṣkaradvīpa, you who were the abode of the gods, where refined inhabitants, expert in sports with Vidyādharīs, rested in the caves of Kadamba forests - where have you gone from here?

50. By merely remembering the forests of pure lands, adorned with excellent flowers, sweet waters, and free from intense heat; and the caves of Gomeda island, beautiful with golden vines and wish-granting trees; and the white mountains of Śākadvīpa, interspersed with groves of divine trees - for mankind, merit arises that bestows the happiness of the divine realm.

52. When, alas, shall we once more behold those forests located on the shore of the ocean of sugarcane juice, amidst the landscapes of rocky hillsides, and similarly, the jaggery sweets and even the sugar crystals?

53. When, alas, shall we behold the dance of those beautiful women, fragrant with sandalwood, within golden palaces, located amidst the cool shade of Kadamba and Kalpadruma trees on the mountain of tāla and tamāla groves?

54. Alas, even those exquisite fruits of the Jambu tree, whose form was so memorable, are now lost. The river Jambu-matī, which flows with their juicy waters, encircles islands and oceans like a girdle.
शिलीन्ध्रनीरन्ध्रमहीध्ररन्ध्रक्षीबामरस्त्रीकृतगीतनृत्यम् ।

55. Repeatedly recalling the bank of the Surōda river - where intoxicated celestial women (amarastrī) performed singing and dancing within the caves of mountains that were densely covered with fungi - my heart (hṛdā) bursts open, just as the earth (urvī) once split for a primordial lotus (abjam) to emerge.

56. Look! On the surface of this new ocean of blood, hundreds of golden mountain peaks shine brightly with splendor. They are reddish, like the twilight on the horizons of lands where the sun rises and sets, appearing like slightly risen crescent moons in the various directions.

57. Alas, I do not know where that earth (mahī) has gone - that land (sthalī) which was girdled by oceans and vast bodies of water, adorned with intervening islands, and upon whose exceedingly high, majestic mountains rested masses of clouds resembling blue water lilies. This earth, whose vast expanse included streams, wild forests, dense woods, formidable cities, villages, and Brahminical land grants, and which was rich with tree sprouts and tender leaves, has vanished!
