At these words of The Rishi, the Ocean receded from the spot marked out, and land appeared which was highly sterile. To the rivers which flowed through that region, Utathya said. O Sarasvati, do you become invisible here. Indeed, O timid lady, leaving this region, go you to the desert. O auspicious goddess, let this region, destitute of you, cease to become sacred.
ततस्तदीरिणं जातं समुद्रस्यावसर्पतः। तस्माद् देशान्नदीं चैव प्रोवाचासौ द्विजोत्तमः॥ अदृश्या गच्छ भीरु तवं सरस्वति मरून प्रति। अपुण्य एष भवतु देशस्त्यक्तस्त्वया शुभे॥
