Verse 7.116.24

युगलकम् ।
खं मन्ये पादपादीनां रोधयत्यधिकोन्नतिम् ।
अकर्तुरेव महतो महिम्नोदेति कर्तृता ॥ २४ ॥

yugalakam |
khaṃ manye pādapādīnāṃ rodhayatyadhikonnatim |
akartureva mahato mahimnodeti kartṛtā || 24 ||

It is the air methinks, that puts a stop to the greater height or rising of trees and hills;for though it does not actually restrain their growth, yet its influence (pressure from above), like the authority of noble men, puts a check to the rise of aspiring underlings.
