दृष्टं नष्टासु दिक्ष्वब्धिकल्लोलैरुह्यमानया ।
मत्स्याम्बुकच्छपाच्छोडे मोघमाननताडनम् ॥ ४७ ॥

dṛṣṭaṃ naṣṭāsu dikṣvabdhikallolairuhyamānayā |
matsyāmbukacchapācchoḍe moghamānanatāḍanam || 47 ||

I have been in the form of a fish, and was lifted up by the waves of the sea above the surface of the water. I saw how a tortoise was killed by the blow of a club on the neck, when it failed to break its back-bone.
