Text 1.30.19
स तेन परमास्त्रेण मानवेन समाहितः।
सम्पूर्णं योजनशतं क्षिप्तः सागरसम्प्लवे॥
sa tena paramāstreṇa mānavena samāhitaḥ
sampūrṇaṁ yojana-śataṁ kṣiptaḥ sāgara-samplave
saḥ = Mārīca; tena parama-astreṇa mānavena = by that great weapon Mānava; samāhitaḥ = struck; sampūrṇam = at a full distance; yojana-śatam = of a hundred yojanas; kṣiptaḥ = was thrown; sāgara-samplave = into the midst of the surging ocean.
Struck by that great weapon Mānava, Mārīca was thrown into the midst of the surging ocean at a full distance of a hundred yojanas.
