22. The waters of oceans were boiling with rage, and the trees and leaves of the forest were burning with blaze. 23. The cities and celestials sitting on their happy seats, in the highest heaven of Brahmá, fell down below with all their inhabitants of women and young and old people, being burnt by the flames. 24. The Kalpánta or chaotic fire was mixed with the water, in the lake of Brahmá. 25. The strong winds uprooted the deep rooted mountains and rocks, and plunged them headlong into the fiery mire of the infernal regions. 26. The chaotic clouds advanced as a troop of sable camels, moving slowly in the azure sky with a grumbling noise. 27. They appeared from a corner of the sky, like a huge mountain flashing with lightnings of gorgeous flame; and fraught with the waters of the seven oceans. 28. These clouds were capable of rending the great vault of the world (heaven), with their loud uproar; and splitting all the sides of heaven, standing upon their solid snow white and impregnable walls. 29. The doomsday was as the raging ocean, and the planets were the rolling islands in the whirlpools of their orbits; the flitting lightnings likened its shifting aquatic animals, and the roaring of the clouds was as the howling of its waters. 30. The moon being devoured by Ráhu, and burnt away by the fiery comet, rose to heaven again and assumed the colder form of the cloud, to pour down more moisture than her nightly beams and dews. 31. Lightning like golden sphere in the shape of frigidity of the sort of Himalaya, held all stupefied waters, woods and hills. 32. After the clouds had split the vault of heaven, by their harsh crackling and thunders; they dropped down the solid snows at first, which were then melted down in the form of liquid rain. 33. There was a jarring of dissonant sounds, that grated upon the ear, and proceeded from the bursting of woods by wild fire, and the stridor of thunder-claps in the rebellowing air; and the cracking and crackling and dashing and crashing of every thing in the shattering world. 34. There was a sharp and shrill noise, arising from the warring winds blowing in a hundred ways, and the drift of bleak cold showers of driving snows, covering the face of heaven. 35. The vault of heaven which is supported by the blue and sapphire-like pillars of the azure skies on all sides, shattered the earth and its props of the mountains, with big and heavy showers of diluvian rain. 36. The earth was bursting and splitting sound, by the blazing furnaces of fire on all sides; and the hearts of all living beings, were rent by the loud rattling of thunderbolts from heaven. 37. The rain that reigned long over the realm of the fiery earth, was now going upward in the form of smoke, which the burning earth heaved from her bosom, as her sighs towards heaven.
