Jaimini said: Everywhere round him the highly fortunate sage saw the ocean that was agitated by the wind; that was a mine of all precious gems; that was being filled with water continuously; the majesty, depth and vastness of which could never be understood, like that of the minds of great men; that was very difficult to be crossed by everyone; that contained different kinds of crocodiles; that could never be assailed in the world like Dhātṛ (the creator and dispenser of destiny).
