His horse, guarded by his sons, roamed over the world. Going to the fearful and waterless ocean. It disappeared there, though it was guarded with all care. O child, they thought that the excellent horse had been robbed. Going (back) to their father, they told him how the horse had disappeared and had been stolen. He (Sagara) said, “Go and search the horse in all directions."
तस्याश्वो व्यचरद् भूमिं पुत्रैः स परिरक्षितः। समुद्रं स समासाद्य निस्तोयं भीमदर्शनम्॥ रक्ष्यमाणः प्रयत्नेन तत्रैवान्तरधीयत। ततस्ते सागरास्तात हृतं मत्वा हयोत्तमम्॥ आगम्य पितुराचख्युरदृश्यं तुरगं हृतम्। तेनोक्ता दिक्षु सर्वासु सर्वे मार्गत वाजिनम्॥
