Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 6 - Chapter 1 - Verse 24
Sanskrit:
पुरा स्वयम्भूरपि संयमाम्भ-स्युदीर्णवातोर्मिरवै: कराले ।एकोऽरविन्दात् पतितस्ततारतस्माद् भयाद्येन स नोऽस्तु पार: ॥ २४ ॥
ITRANS:
purā svayambhūr api saṁyamāmbhasyudīrṇa-vātormi-ravaiḥ karāleeko ’ravindāt patitas tatāratasmād bhayād yena sa no ’stu pāraḥ
Translation:
In the beginning of creation, a tremendous wind caused fierce waves of inundating water. The great waves made such a horrible sound that Lord Brahmā almost fell from his seat on the lotus into the water of devastation, but he was saved with the help of the Lord. Thus we also expect the Lord to protect us from this dangerous condition.
