Verse 10.38
भूमि सन्धिषु अयं प्रवर्तते निश्चला नभसि नआत्र संशयः ।
तेषु सर्वशुभकर्मराशिनां तेजसा भ्रमति सर्वसंततं ॥ ३८ ॥
bhūmi sandhiṣu ayaṃ pravartate niścalā nabhasi naātra saṃśayaḥ |
teṣu sarvaśubhakarmarāśināṃ tejasā bhramati sarvasaṃtataṃ || 38 ||
This earth as a rule remains fixed on its foundations, immovable in space. This is beyond doubt. But now, through the power of these beings who have laid up a store of all good deeds, this earth trembles in all its wide extent. (38)
