This whole earth has gone one hundred yojanas down. What is the cause of all this? By whom the whole universe has been agitated? Kindly explain the cause to us without delay; we are all bewildered.
सैषा वसुमती कृत्स्ना योजनानां शतं गता। किमेतद् किं प्रभावेण येनेदं व्याकुलं जगत्। आख्यातु नो भवाशीघ्रं विसंज्ञाः स्मेह सर्वशः॥
