Translation
After reaching the beach, Lord Rāmacandra fasted for three days, awaiting the arrival of the ocean personified. When the ocean did not come, the Lord exhibited His pastimes of anger, and simply by His glancing over the ocean, all the living entities within it, including the crocodiles and sharks, were agitated by fear. Then the personified ocean fearfully approached Lord Rāmacandra, taking all paraphernalia to worship Him. Falling at the Lord’s lotus feet, the personified ocean spoke as follows.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Simply by his frowning glance cast over the ocean, all the living entities within it, including the crocodiles and sharks, were agitated by fear. 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.
