Verse 1.14.5

युज्यते वेष्टनं वायोराकाशस्य च खण्डनम् ।
ग्रथनं च तरङ्गाणामास्था नायुषि युज्यते ॥ ५ ॥

yujyate veṣṭanaṃ vāyorākāśasya ca khaṇḍanam |
grathanaṃ ca taraṅgāṇāmāsthā nāyuṣi yujyate || 5 ||

It is as impossible to keep the winds in confinement, to tear asunder the sky to pieces, and wreathe the waves to a chaplet, as to place any reliance in our lives.
