वहन्ति देहयन्त्राणि ज्योतींषि प्रतपन्ति च ।
वायवो नित्यगतयः स्थिताः शैलादयः स्थिराः ॥ ३६ ॥

vahanti dehayantrāṇi jyotīṃṣi pratapanti ca |
vāyavo nityagatayaḥ sthitāḥ śailādayaḥ sthirāḥ || 36 ||

It is that blind impulse, that impels the members of the body to their respective actions; and makes the luminous bodies to emit their light; it causes the winds to wind about in their continuous course, and makes the mountains to stand unmoved in their proper places.
