Meaning
The kalpa-vṛkṣa is the tree of heaven that yields all wishes. The commentary glosses: he is not uprooted, that is, he is not afflicted. Kṣubhite 'pi, though stirred: the verse grants that the storm comes and shakes him. Having a body and a mind, the knower too has their weather. What it denies is that he is broken.
