जलान्तरेऽम्बुधिर्यद्वल्लसद्वारीव चञ्चलः ।
सर्वशक्तिर्वपुष्येव तथा स्पन्दविलासवान् ॥ ८ ॥

jalāntare'mbudhiryadvallasadvārīva cañcalaḥ |
sarvaśaktirvapuṣyeva tathā spandavilāsavān || 8 ||

As the sea seems to move with its sparkling waters, reflecting the sun and moonbeams upon its surface, so the almighty spirit appears to shake with the fleeting reflections of creation in its bosom.
