एषो समुद्रं जलधरं वारिपूर्णं असुरनिकेतं उदधिं समन्ततेजं ।
शोषेय सर्वं दृढव्रतो अप्रमत्तो एषो हि सर्वम् अभिभवे मारसैन्यं ॥ १६७ ॥
eṣo samudraṃ jaladharaṃ vāripūrṇaṃ asuraniketaṃ udadhiṃ samantatejaṃ |

“He, firmly resolute and alert, could dry up all the water of the flowing sea, the ocean home of the Asuras, with all its surrounding splendour. Surely, he can triumph over all Mara’s host. (167)
