kvacic chokam kvacin moham
kvacid duhkham sukham bhayam
kvacin mrtyum avapnoti
vyadhy-adibhir utarditah
Translation:
At times he was engulfed by the great whirlpools, sometimes he was beaten by the mighty waves, and at other times the aquatic monsters threatened to devour him as they attacked one another. Sometimes he felt lamentation, bewilderment, misery, happiness or fear, and at other times he experienced such terrible illness and pain that he felt himself dying.
