पुष्टिर्न रण्वा क्षितिर्न पृथ्वी गिरिर्न भुज्म क्षोदो न शम्भु ॥
Transliteration
puṣṭír na raṇvā́ kṣitír na pṛthvī́ girír na bhújma kṣódo na śambhú ||
Translation
Он — как питательность, что радует; как опора, широкая, как земля; как горная громада и как стремительный поток, несущий благость — так стоит божественная Сила, поддерживающая и благодатная.
