Shiva Mahimna - Stotra 12

अमुष्य त्वत्सेवा-समधिगतसारं भुजवनं
बलात्कैलासेऽपि त्वदधिवसतौ विक्रमयतः।
अलभ्यापातालेऽप्यलसचलितांगुष्ठशिरसि
प्रतिष्ठा त्वय्यासीद्ध्रुवमुपचितो मुह्यति खलः॥ १२॥

amuṣya tvatsevā-samadhigatasāraṁ bhujavanaṁ
balāt kailāse'pi tvadadhivasatau vikramayataḥ |
alabhyāpātāle'pyalasacalitāṁguṣṭhaśirasi
pratiṣṭhā tvayyāsīd dhruvamupacito muhyati khalaḥ || 12||

But when he (Ravana) extended the valour of his arms - whose strength was obtained by worshipping You - to Kailas, Your abode, You moved the tip of Your toe, and he did not find a resting place even in the nether world. Truly, when affluent the wicked become deluded. (12)
