The ocean dances on the mountain; and the mountain, towering high, resides in the hollow of the sky. Where has the sky, along with the moon and sun, gone, having moved beneath the earth? The multitude of forests, adorned with islands, mountains, and cities, their flowers scattered, are now in the sky. The restless world (jagat) rotates in the circle of directions, just like a blade of grass (tṛṇa) in the ocean.
