पद्माक्षे स्थापितो मेरुर्निगीर्णो भृङ्गसूनुना ।
स्वप्नाब्दगर्जितं श्रुत्वा चित्रं नृत्यन्ति बर्हिणः ॥ १० ॥

padmākṣe sthāpito merurnigīrṇo bhṛṅgasūnunā |
svapnābdagarjitaṃ śrutvā citraṃ nṛtyanti barhiṇaḥ || 10 ||

It is as incredible as to believe a lotus seed containing a hill in it, and to be devoured by a little bee; or that the peacocks are dancing on hearing the roaring of clouds in a dream.
