नाकाशमासीन्न दिगन्त आसीदधोऽपि नासीन्न तदूर्ध्वमासीत् ।
भूतं न आसीन्न च सर्ग आसीदासीत्परं केवलमेव वारि ॥ २८ ॥

nākāśamāsīnna diganta āsīdadho'pi nāsīnna tadūrdhvamāsīt |
bhūtaṃ na āsīnna ca sarga āsīdāsītparaṃ kevalameva vāri || 28 ||

There remained neither the sky nor the horizon, there was no upside nor downward in the infinite space; there was no creation nor a creature any where, but all were submerged under one infinite sheet of water.
