Verse 6.21.5

भुजावष्टम्भविनमन्मेरुर्नारायणो यदा ।
मन्दरं प्रोद्दधाराद्रिं तदा नाकम्पत द्रुमः ॥ ५ ॥

bhujāvaṣṭambhavinamanmerurnārāyaṇo yadā |
mandaraṃ proddadhārādriṃ tadā nākampata drumaḥ || 5 ||

When Narayana supported this seat of the gods on his two arms (i.e. the Meru), and uplifted the mandara mount on the other two, even then did this tree remain unshaken.
