Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 8 - Chapter 1 - Verse 12

Sanskrit:

प्राहरत् कुलिशं तस्मा अमोघं परमर्दन: ।सयानो न्यपतद् भूमौ छिन्नपक्ष इवाचल: ॥ १२ ॥

ITRANS:

prāharat kuliśaṁ tasmāamoghaṁ para-mardanaḥsayāno nyapatad bhūmauchinna-pakṣa ivācalaḥ

Translation:

When Indra, the defeater of enemies, released his infallible thunderbolt scepter at Bali Mahārāja with a desire to kill him, Bali Mahārāja indeed fell to the ground with his airplane, like a mountain with its wings cut off.

Purport:

In many descriptions in Vedic literature it is found that mountains also fly in the sky with wings. When such mountains are dead, they fall to the ground, where they stay as very large dead bodies.
