English translation:

(627) “O Lord, if a person falls forcefully to the ground, the earth again supports him.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

When a person falls to the ground, the earth does not allow him to fall further but kindly protects him.

It is stated:

bhūmau skhalita-pādānāṃ bhūmir evāvalambanam tvayi jātāparādhānāṃ tvam eva śaraṇaṃ prabho

“Those who trip and fall have only the ground as support to again get up. Similarly, O Lord, those who commit offenses to You have no one but You for refuge.”
