Bhagavatapurana 12.9.12

12. Then were seen the four oceans overflowing on all sides and swallowing up the earth and with terrible whirlpools and roars of current and formidable alligators and with waves tossed high by the violent winds.

13. To see the four-fold universe of creatures along with himself, subjected to fear on waters flowing in and out and rising to the skies, by the severe rays of the Sun and strokes of lightning and to see the whole earth flooded with waters, the sage was troubled at heart.
