ityete dṛśyarūpāyā avidyāyā vicāraṇe |
pravṛttāḥ pādacāreṇa samudradvīpagāminaḥ || 1 ||

Vasishtha related:—Thus they proceeded onward, to explore into the visible phenomena, exposed before them by Ignorance (avidya or external nature); and continued to walk on foot, over the watery maze and the islands it contained.
