Shloka 47
Gandhamādana-praveśa and the Sudden Storm (गन्धमादनप्रवेशः — चण्डवातवर्षवर्णनम्)
स गृहीत्वा वसुमतीं शृज्जेणैकेन भास्वता । योजनानां शतं वीर समुद्धरति सो$क्षर:,वीर युधिष्ठिर! अविनाशी भगवान् विष्णुने अपने एक ही तेजस्वी दाँतके द्वारा पृथ्वीको थामकर उसे सौ योजन ऊपर उठा दिया
sa gṛhītvā vasumatīṃ śṛṅgeṇaikena bhāsvatā | yojanānāṃ śataṃ vīra samuddharati so 'kṣaraḥ || vīra yudhiṣṭhira! avināśī bhagavān viṣṇuḥ svenaikena tejasvinā daṃṣṭreṇa pṛthivīṃ dhṛtvā tāṃ śata-yojanam ūrdhvaṃ samuddhṛtavān ||
Lomaśa said: “O hero, with a single radiant tusk he seized the Earth and lifted her up a hundred yojanas. O valiant Yudhiṣṭhira, the imperishable Lord Viṣṇu—steadfast and undecaying—supported the Earth with one blazing tooth and raised her aloft.” The passage underscores divine guardianship: when the world sinks into peril, the sustaining power of the Lord restores stability, inviting trust in cosmic order (dharma) beyond human strength.
