यदि वाप्युदिते वातैस्तत्तदस्या न लक्ष्यते ।
तदन्तःसंस्थितैः स्पन्दो नावि कोशगतैरिव ॥ २० ॥

yadi vāpyudite vātaistattadasyā na lakṣyate |
tadantaḥsaṃsthitaiḥ spando nāvi kośagatairiva || 20 ||

Or if this world is a revolving body, carried about by the force of the winds; yet we have no knowledge of its motion, as when sitting quiet in a boat, though carried afar to the distance of miles by the tide and winds.
