The powerful demon moved about in the ocean for many years, striking with his iron club the huge waves agitated by wind. He then reached the city of Varuṇa called Vibhāvarī. Over many years (varṣa-pūgān) he struck even the huge waves with his club made of iron (maurvyā). Maurvyā can also mean “made of a type of grass called mūrvā.” He moved about (caran). He came to the city called Vibhāvarī and thought, “There is a city here. I will enter it.”
