The way is over space. There is no water there and it is terrible to look at. There is nowhere in that region any shade of any tree, any water and any resting place, in which the traveller when fatigued, may take rest for some time.
आकाशं तदपानीयं घोरं कान्तारदर्शनम्। न तत्र वृक्षच्छाया वा पानीयं केतनानि च॥ विश्रमेद् यत्र वै श्रान्तः पुरुषोऽध्वनि कर्शितः।
