nṛtyatsu bhūtavṛndeṣu śiṣṭaṃ raktaṃ surairbhuvaḥ |
ekapravāheṇaikasminnikṣiptaṃ makarālaye || 7 ||

As the ghosts were disporting in their giddy dance in the air, the god commanded the liquid portion of the dead body, to be collected together in one great basin of the ocean the abodes of whales and sharks.
