स्कन्धव्यूढार्कशशिषु वहत्स्वविरतं जवात् ।
वातस्कन्धातिवातेषु कच्चित्तात न खिद्यसे ॥ ११ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
skandhavyūḍhārkaśaśiṣu vahatsvavirataṃ javāt |
vātaskandhātivāteṣu kaccittāta na khidyase || 11 ||

Vasishtha said:—Say, O venerable father! how you remained unmolested by the deluvian tempest, which outstripped the winds in its velocity, and bore the great bodies of the sun and moon and stars as jewels hanging about its neck.
