कम्पे मेदिनी ससागरशैला तेन भग्ना च चमुः नमुचिस्य ॥ ८८ ॥
so kareṇa mṛdutūlupamena āhaneya dharaṇīṃ dvipadendro |
kampe medinī sasāgaraśailā tena bhagnā ca camuḥ namucisya || 88 ||
He, the Lord of bipeds, struck the earth with a hand soft as cotton. The earth with the sea and the rocks shook. By him was the host of Namuci broken. (88)
