तद्ब्रह्माण्डकवाटं तु तृणं तृणमणिर्यथा ।
धत्ते वारि स्वभावेन नित्यं कल्पकरत्नवत् ॥ ८ ॥

tadbrahmāṇḍakavāṭaṃ tu tṛṇaṃ tṛṇamaṇiryathā |
dhatte vāri svabhāvena nityaṃ kalpakaratnavat || 8 ||

The two continents attract the circumambient waters around them, as the magnet attracts the needles about it; and the water (in its turn), upholds the continents (and islands), as the Kalpa tree supports the fruits upon it.
