परेहि उक्तो परुषं पुनः पुनः प्रभुः समानो क्षमते न ऊहते ।
ततो पियं चंक्रमतो सपर्वता समुन्नतान्तोनमति वसुन्धरा ॥ १४ ॥

parehi ukto paruṣaṃ punaḥ punaḥ prabhuḥ samāno kṣamate na ūhate |
tato piyaṃ caṃkramato saparvatā samunnatāntonamati vasundharā || 14 ||

Although reviled by others again and again, the Lord bears it with composure and pays no heed to it. That again is why this earth with its mountains rises and subsides as he walks over it. (14)
