stambhaṁ bhūmi-sthitaḥ prāṇas tanoty aśru-jalāśrayaḥ |
tejasthaḥ sveda-vaivarṇye pralayaṁ viyad-āśrayaḥ ||18||
When the prāṇa takes shelter of the earth element, paralysis arises. When the prāṇa takes shelter of the water element, tears arise. When the prāṇa takes shelter of the fire element, perspiration and change of color arise. When the prāṇa takes shelter of the ether element, fainting arises.
Purport
When the vital force of life is in contact with the earth, one is stunned. When the same force comes into contact with water, there is the shedding of tears. When the same force comes into contact with fire, there is perspiration. When the force comes into contact with the sky, there is complete devastation.
— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
