Verse 38

तदधीनं जगत् सर्वं त्रैलोक्यं सचराचरम् । तदालम्बनतस्तिष्ठेदवितर्क्यमिदं जगत् ॥ ३८ ॥

tadadhīnaṁ jagat sarvaṁ trailōkyaṁ sacarācaram | tadālambanatastiṣṭhēdavitarkyamidaṁ jagat || 38 ||

Translation

The whole world depends on him, the three worlds with all that moves and does not move. Resting on him, this world stands, beyond the grasp of reason.

Word by word
