Tormented by hunger and thirst, attacked by monstrous makaras and timiṅgila fish and battered by the wind and waves, he moved aimlessly through the infinite darkness into which he had fallen. As he grew increasingly exhausted, he lost all sense of direction and could not tell the sky from the earth.

Gauḍīya Ācāryas

Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya

Translation

Having fallen into insurmountable darkness, tormented by hunger and thirst, attacked by monstrous makaras and timiṅgila fish, and battered by the wind and waves, he moved aimlessly. As he grew increasingly exhausted, he lost all sense of direction and could not tell the sky from the earth. He was beaten by wind with waves. Īṣitaḥ means “attained.” It comes from the root īṣ, meaning “to go.”
