सा सुरानीकिनी देवं क्षीरोदार्णवशायिनम् ।
जगाम शरणं शैलं वातार्तेवाब्दमालिका ॥ २० ॥

sā surānīkinī devaṃ kṣīrodārṇavaśāyinam |
jagāma śaraṇaṃ śailaṃ vātārtevābdamālikā || 20 ||

The discomfited legion of the deities, then resorted to the god Hari, sleeping on the surface of the ocean of milk; as the bodies of the clouds of heaven, are driven by the winds to the tops of mountains.
