यदा कल्पानलशिखाः शैलाब्धिसकलोल्बणः ।
शेषः फणाभिस्तत्याज तदा नाकम्पत द्रुमः ॥ १२ ॥

yadā kalpānalaśikhāḥ śailābdhisakalolbaṇaḥ |
śeṣaḥ phaṇābhistatyāja tadā nākampata drumaḥ || 12 ||

When the flame of the last conflagration, threatened to consume the world with the seas and mountains; and made the snake which supported the earth on his hoods, throw out living fire from all his many mouths, even then this tree was neither shaken nor burnt down by the gorgeous and all devouring fire.
