52. All these heavenly bodies and these islands in the ocean, are moving around her, like the flying wheels of a broken warcar; and they whirl up and down about her, like the rocks and woods in a whirlpool. 53. She is clad in the robes of the blue clouds, which are furled and folded by the breezes of air; and the cracking of wood and bones under feet, answer the sound of her foot-steps and anklets below. 54. The world is filled with the noise of the concussion and separation of its objects, and the tumult of worldly people; appearing as passing shadows in a mirror, or as the entrance and exits of actors in a play on the stage. 55. The high-headed Meru and the long armed (ranged) boundary mountains, seem to be dancing about her in their representations in the moving clouds; and the forest trees seen in the clouds, seem to perform their circuitous dance all around. 56. The high-swelling seas were heaving their waves to heaven, bearing with them the uprooted woods of the coasts on high, and again hurling them down, and sinking them in the waters below. 57. The cities were seen to be rolling with a tremendous noise in the waters below, and no relics of houses and towers and the habitations of human kind, were found to be left beneath. 58. As the chaotic night (kála-rátri) was thus roving at random, the sun and moon with their light and shade, found shelter in the tops of her nails, where they sparkled as threads of gold. (_i.e._ The flash of her nails, afforded the only light amidst the universe of gloom). 59. She was clad in the blue mantle of the clouds, and adorned with necklaces of frost and icicles; and the worlds hung about her, like the trickling dewdrops of her perspiration. 60. The blue sky formed her covering veil about her head, the infernal region her footstool, the earth her bowels, and the several sides (or points of the compass) were so many arms on her. 61. The seas and their islands, formed the cavities and pimples in her person; the hills and rocks made her rib bones, and the winds of heaven were her vital airs. 62. As she continues in her dancing, the huge mountains and rocks swing and reel about her gigantic body, as her attendant satellites. 63. The mountain trees turning around her, appear to weave chaplets and dance about, in congratulation of her commencing a new cycle or _kalpa_. 64. The gods and demigods, the hairless serpents and worms, and all hairy bodies; are all but component parts of her body; and being unable to remain quiescent while she is in motion, are all turning round with her. 65. She weaves the three fold cord of the sacred thread—_trivrit_, consisting of acts, sacrifices and knowledge, which she proclaims aloud in the thundering voice of the triple vedas. 66. Before her (_i.e._ in the infinite space), there is no heaven or earth (_i.e._ up or down); but the one becomes the other, by its constant rotation like the wheel of a vehicle.
