संसक्तिवशतो वाति वायुर्भुवनकोटरे ।
पञ्चभूतानि तिष्ठन्ति वहतीयं जगत्स्थितिः ॥ ३१ ॥

saṃsaktivaśato vāti vāyurbhuvanakoṭare |
pañcabhūtāni tiṣṭhanti vahatīyaṃ jagatsthitiḥ || 31 ||

It is the force of habit, that makes the winds to blow in their wonted course, and causes the five elements to continue in their usual states, in support of the order of nature.
