अन्वयः
याम्या दिक् southern direction, न च ज्ञायते also was not known, आग्नेयी south east, न or, वारुणी west, न or, लोकः world, युगान्ते at the end of yuga, अग्निना by fire of dissolution, दग्धः burnt, हत इव consumed, नियतः set by an order.
M N Dutt
We knew not the south, or the west, or the quarter presided over by Fire;' and the world that was still burning at the end of a Yuga, appeared (to us) as if it had been consumed quite.? १. South-east. २. The passage is obscure. This is however, all the explanation that the commentator has to give.
Summary
'I did not know which the southern direction was or the southeast or the west. It looked as if the world had been consumed by fire and dissolved, as if it was the end of the yuga.
