भ्रमन्निव जलावर्ते शस्त्रयन्त्र इवार्पितः ॥ ४७ ॥

bhramito vā bhrama iva kṛṣṭo rasanayeva vā |
bhramanniva jalāvarte śastrayantra ivārpitaḥ || 47 ||

He whirls about as by a rotatory machine or turning wheel, and is dragged along like a beast by its halter. He wallows about as in an eddy, or turns around as the machine of some engine.
