c5.s3.t2.9

His flames are like the roaring waves of the sea (1, 44¹²). His sound is like the Wind or the thunder of Heaven (5, 25⁸; 7, 3⁶). He roars like the thundering Dyaus (10, 45⁴), or Parjanya (8, 91⁵), or a lion (3, 2¹¹). He bellows like a bull when he invades the forest trees, and the birds are terrified at the noise when his grass-devouring sparks arise (1, 94¹⁰. ¹¹). He cannot be checked any more than the sound of the Maruts, an army let loose, or the bolt of heaven (1, 143⁵).
