गिरयश्चिन्नि जिहते पर्शानासो मन्यमानाः । पर्वताश्चिन्नि येमिरे ॥
Transliteration
giráyaś cid ní jihate párśānāso mányamānāḥ | párvatāś cid ní yemire ||
Translation
Bahkan ‘bukit-bukit’ batin pun menyerah dan dibuat merunduk; gumpalan-gumpalan yang melawan, menyangka diri teguh, pun mengalah. Bahkan ‘gunung-gunung’ pun dibatasi dan ditahan—ketika Daya ilahi menekan penghalang.
