Verse 7.78.1

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
वातवर्षहिमोत्पातपातभग्ने धरातले ।
जडवेगोऽगमद्वृद्धिं कलाविव महीपतिः ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
vātavarṣahimotpātapātabhagne dharātale |
jaḍavego'gamadvṛddhiṃ kalāviva mahīpatiḥ || 1 ||

Vasishtha continued:—The rain storm and falling hails and snows, shattered the surface of the earth to parts and parcels; and the violence of the waters was increasing, like the oppression of kings in Kali or last days of the world.
