[OS X TeX] Avoiding page breaks

Dear all,

I have a perhaps stupid question, but it is something that I have not 
been able to solve, and so I am hoping that one of you will have a 
hint.

I have defined the following:

\newenvironment{versetxt}[2]
  {
    \begin{center}$\sim$ {\sc #2} $\sim$\end{center}\vspace{-2 mm}
    \par ({#1}) \begin{large}\begin{bf}
  }
  {
    \end{bf}\end{large}\\
  }

#1 gives the number of the verse in the Sanskrit text, while #2 gives a 
brief description of its contents.  Then the translation follows.

The problem is this:  Sometimes the description ends up at the bottom 
of a page while the translation begins on the next page.  This looks 
rather silly and I would like for that to not happen.

I have tried to insert \nopagebreak and \samepage at various place, but 
without success.

Would any of you have an idea about how I can avoid a page break 
between the description and the translation?

With many, many thanks!

Sincerely,
Toke
