asminsamudre adhyuttarasminnāpo devebhirnivṛtā atiṣṭhan tā adravannārṣṭiṣeṇena sṛṣṭā devāpinā preṣitā mṛkṣiṇīṣu
In this sea, above and below, waters stood encompassed by the gods. They flowed forth; the arṣṭi‑born ones were created; the gods sent them into the furrows.
In this upper ocean the waters stood dammed up by the gods; set free by Devāpi, the son ofṚṣṭiṣeṇa, they were sent forth over the plural ins.
Gathered together in that highest ocean, the waters stood by deities obstructed. They burried down set free by Arstisena, in gaping clefts, urged onward by Devapi.
