10.6.8

vibudhya tāṃ bālaka-mārikā-grahaṃ carācarātmā sa nimīlitekṣaṇaḥ /
anantam āropayad aṅkam antakaṃ yathoragaṃ suptam abuddhi-rajju-dhīḥ //

8. Knowing her to be the devil that kills children the Supreme Ruler of the mobile and the immobile creation remained with His eyes closed (lay quiet without opening His eyes). [Though the Supreme Ruler, the Lord behaving like a babe, uttered nothing at all; but the nocturnal spirit was ignorant that He was Hari who naturally and directly knows the activity of the Universe]. She placed the unlimited Lord Ananta, her death, on her lap, like a foolish person who might treat a serpent on his lap, mistaking it for a rope.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
