The discus grew, the conch and the bow also grew, the Earth resounded, "Hail!, the mace and the dagger grew. The world become a bubble, the Lord's foot touched the Asura's head. Oh! How my father grew and strode the Earth, heralding a new age!

What sounds arose when my Father churned for ambrosia! The rivers lashed water backwards over mountains, the ocean swirled in waves back and forth, as a snake-wrapped-mountain grated the Earth!

The seven plains stood firmly in place, the seven mountains stood firmly in place, the seven oceans stood firmly in place, when my Father lifted the Earth with his tusk teeth!

The day disappeared, Earth and water disappeared, the sky and stars disappeared. Fire and Wind disappeared, mountains and plains disappeared, the radiant orbs disappeared, the day my Father feasted on the Universe with relish!

Oh! The sounds of well-fed wrestlers being crushed! The jitters of the manly warrior kings, and the praise that the wakeful celestials showered, when my Father took charge of the glorious Bharata war!

When the day waned into twilight, a lion-like form exploded from a rock, and blood spewed high like a fountain every which way, when my Father came and killed the wicked Asura

Arrows grinding against countless heavy arrows, corpses by the hundred heaped like mountains, pools of blood flowing like rivers everywhere, -Oh, how my Father destroyed Lanka to dust!

The Cock-bannered god ran away, know ye! Then the burning Fire-god ran away, then the three-eyed god too ran away, when my Father cut the strong arms of Bana

Beginning with water, earth, fire, wind, and sky, and then the mountains and radiant orbs, and thereafter the rains, the gods, the living and all else, -how my father made the first Universe!

Herds of grazing cows and all animals couched under; the great tanks overflowed with gurgling waters. The entire cowherd-clan found a shelter when my Father lifted a mount and stopped the bad rains!
