Tumultuous, swiftly swirling and wildly infested eddies exist in the river in disarray, and they are inhabited by lots of crocodiles (thereby creating an inferno). But Suhni jumped into the water undaunted and headed for the impetuous current. It was only with Allah's grace that she passed safely through the surge.

In waters wild where there are whirlpools and crocodiles,
She entrusted herself to currents' force,
With God's grace, she crossed the roaring bores.

Where there were roaring waters,
Swirling whirlpools and crocodiles aplenty,
There she plunged herself into the rushing current,
She crossed the violet waves, Lateef says, with God's grace.
