Verse 48

भ्रान्त्वा भ्रान्त्वा यदन्तस्त्रिभुवनगुरुरप्यब्दकोटीरनेकाःगन्तुं नान्तं समर्थो भ्रमर इव पुनर्नाभिनालीकनालात् ।उन्मज्जन्नूर्जितश्रीस्त्रिभुवनमपरं निर्ममे तत्सदृक्षंदेहाम्भोधिः स देयान्निरवधिरमृतं दैत्यविद्वेषिणो नः ॥

In plain words

Though Brahma, the teacher of the three worlds, wandered through His vast inner spaces for millions of years like a bee searching the stalk of a lotus and could never find His limit, yet emerging with majestic splendor He manifested yet another universe in His likeness—may that boundless ocean-body of the slayer of demons grant us the nectar of ultimate freedom.

Close to the Sanskrit

Having wandered and wandered inside of which for countless crores of years even the preceptor of the three worlds was not capable to go to the end, like a bee from the stalk of the navel-lotus; emerging with surging glory, who created another three-worlds similar to that, may that ocean-body of the enemy of the demons grant boundless nectar to us.
