तं नदीषु विजानाति रन्ध्रेषु प्रदरेषु च ।
सन्नादयति खु ओघो शान्तैव महोदधिः ॥ ४० ॥
taṃ nadīṣu vijānāti randhreṣu pradareṣu ca |
sannādayati khu ogho śāntaiva mahodadhiḥ || 40 ||
This is what a man learns by observing the streams in chasms and ravines; their flood makes a loud roar. But the great ocean rolls on in silence. (40)
