प्रलये भिन्नमर्यादा भवन्ति किल सागराः ।
सागरा भेदमिच्छन्ति प्रलयेऽपि न साधवः ॥३.६॥

pralaye bhinnamaryādā bhavanti kila sāgarāḥ |
sāgarā bhedamiccanti pralaye’api na sādhavaḥ ||3.6||

at the time of destruction, the oceans transgress their limits and seek to come apart, but even at that time, a saint neither transgresses his limits nor does he come apart
