तन्महाकल्पनष्टानां सृष्टिः स्यात्कथमञ्जसा ।
कथमग्नेः कथं वायोः सत्ता भूमेः कथं भवेत् ॥ ४४ ॥

tanmahākalpanaṣṭānāṃ sṛṣṭiḥ syātkathamañjasā |
kathamagneḥ kathaṃ vāyoḥ sattā bhūmeḥ kathaṃ bhavet || 44 ||

Or how could the creation that was once destroyed by the great deluge, come to resuscitate again; unless it were a réchauffé of the reminiscence of the past one, else the elementary bodies of air, fire and earth, could not possibly be produced from nothing.
