करोति दीनान नयेन संग्रहं पतन्तम् अभ्युद्धरते महाजनं ।
ततो स्य रत्नामयरत्नसंचया समोनता उन्नमते वसुंधरा ॥ १५ ॥
karoti dīnāna nayena saṃgrahaṃ patantam abhyuddharate mahājanaṃ |
tato sya ratnāmayaratnasaṃcayā samonatā unnamate vasuṃdharā || 15 ||
With his guidance he gives protection to the humble and raises up the fallen multitude. That is why the jewel-bearing earth rises and falls as he walks along. (15)
