# Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 4 Chapter 8 Text 79

**[Śrīmad Bhāgavatam Canto 4 Chapter 8 Text 79](http://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/4/8/79/)**

 

*
yadaika-pādena sa pārthivārbhakas
tasthau tad-aṅguṣṭha-nipīḍitā mahī
nanāma tatrārdham ibhendra-dhiṣṭhitā
tarīva savyetarataḥ pade pade
* 

TRANSLATION
As Dhruva Mahārāja, the King’s son, kept himself steadily standing on one leg, the pressure of his big toe pushed down half the earth, just as an elephant being carried on a boat rocks the boat left and right with his every step.
