Then the personified ocean, stopping its roaring sound out of fear and holding all paraphernalia to worship him on his head, approached the Lord's lotus feet and spoke as follows. Though Rāma fasted and waited for three days, the ocean did not come. Then he remembered his powers. The crocodiles and makaras became disturbed by his frowning (vivṛtta) glance manifested through anger. The ocean stopped its sound out of fear. The ocean, bringing arghya and other ingredients of worship, approached his feet.
