TRANSLATION

At the beginning of the devastation all the seas overflow, and hurricane
winds blow very violently. Thus the waves of the seas become ferocious,
and in no time at all the three worlds are full of water.

PURPORT

It is said that the blazing fire from the mouth of Sankarsana rages for
one hundred years of the demigods, or 36,000 human years. Then for
another 36,000 years there are torrents of rain, accompanied by violent
winds and waves, and the seas and oceans overflow. These reactions of
72,000 years are the beginning of the partial devastation of the three
worlds. People forget all these devastations of the worlds and think them-
selves happy in the material progress of civilization. This is called maya, or
that which is not.
