vivarddhatā balavatā vegādvikṣobhito'rṇavaḥ.
tasyārṇavasya kṣubdhasya tasminnambhasi manthite .. 168.6 ..

When wind appeared, there arose waves in the ocean, and when the waters of the ocean became agitated, the great Vaiśvânara fire appeared. This fire dried up the waters. By the loss of water there was an expansion of the space in the small holes and the firmament appeared, then the water, born of the fire of the Lord, became tasteful like nectar. The space in the holes created the sky out of which came forth the wind and by their concussion, fire was produced. Then the Lord thought of Brahmâ and various other things for the creation of the cosmos.—6-10
