Hearing these words of Shuka, all the points of the horizon, all the forests, all the seas, all the rivers, and all the mountains answered him from all sides, saying,.-We accept your command, O twice-born one! It shall be as you say! It is thus that we answer the words spoken by the Rishi.
शुकस्य वचनं श्रुत्वा दिशः सर्वाः सकाननाः। समुद्राः सरितः शैलाः प्रत्यूचुस्तं समन्ततः॥ यथाऽऽज्ञापयसे विप्र बाढमेवं भविष्यति। ऋषेळहरतो वाक्यं प्रतिवक्ष्यामहे वयम्॥
