Text 17] Lord Siva Saves the Universe 255

Supreme Personality of Godhead; ghanah—clouds; vavuh—blew;
samudra—of the ocean of milk; armi—from the waves; upagidha—
bearing fragments of water; v@yavah—breezes.

TRANSLATION

Because the demigods were also affected by the blazing breath of
Vasuki, their bodily lusters diminished, and their garments, gar-
lands, weapons and faces were blackened by smoke. However, by
the grace of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, clouds appeared
on the sea, pouring torrents of rain, and breezes blew, carrying
particles of water from the sea waves, to give the demigods relief.
