Transliteration
giráyaś cid ní jihate párśānāso mányamānāḥ | párvatāś cid ní yemire ||
Translation
حَتّى «التِّلالُ» الباطنةُ تَخْضَعُ وتُجْعَلُ تَهْوِي؛ والكتلُ المُقاوِمَةُ، إذ تَظُنُّ نَفْسَها راسِخَةً، تَتَراجَعُ. وحَتّى «الجِبالُ» تُقَيَّدُ وتُحْبَسُ—حينَ يَضْغَطُ القُوَّةُ الإِلَهِيَّةُ على العائق.
