स धर्ता सुरसैन्यस्य मज्जतो विपदर्णवे ।
क्षीरोदोदरमग्नस्य मन्दरस्येव कच्छपः ॥ २७ ॥

sa dhartā surasainyasya majjato vipadarṇave |
kṣīrododaramagnasya mandarasyeva kacchapaḥ || 27 ||

That Hari has become the support of the celestial host, when it was about to be hurled into the depth of perdition; in the same manner as the great tortoise supported the mount Mandara, as it was sinking in the Milky ocean in the act of churning it. (Samudra manthana). This was the act of the post-diluvians reclaiming from the sea all that had been swept into it at the great deluge.
