नारायणीयमाख्यानम् (Nārāyaṇīyam Ākhyānam) — Nārada’s Return and Hymnic Consolidation
न च प्रतिजघानास्य स गतिं पर्वतोत्तम: । तत्पश्चात् उन पर्वतशिखरोंसे वे सहसा आगे निकल गये। वह श्रेष्ठ पर्वत उनकी गतिको रोक न सका ।। ततो महानभूच्छब्दो दिवि सर्वदिवौकसाम्
na ca pratijaghānāsya sa gatiṁ parvatottamaḥ | tatpaścāt tu na parvataśikharaiḥ saḥ sahasā agre nirgataḥ | sa śreṣṭhaḥ parvatas tasya gatiṁ roddhuṁ na śaśāka || tato mahān abhūc chabdo divi sarvadivaukasām ||
毗湿摩说道：那最卓绝的高山也无法阻遏他的前行；既不能反击，也不能阻挡他的步伐。随后，他倏然越过群峰之巅，猛然向前冲腾——其势之盛，连最雄伟的山岳也难以约束。于是，天界之中，诸天众生之间，响起了一阵震天的巨吼。

The verse underscores the idea of irresistible momentum—when a being’s force (physical or moral) is fully set in motion, even seemingly immovable obstacles may fail to restrain it; the cosmic reaction (the roar among celestials) highlights how extraordinary acts reverberate beyond the immediate scene.
A figure moves with such speed and power that the foremost mountain cannot check his course; he shoots past the mountain-peaks, and a tremendous sound arises in the heavens among the celestial beings, marking the event as wondrous and momentous.
