आसीगिरिवरो [राजन्] त्रिकूट इति विश्रुतः ।
तस्मिन्सरस्सुविपुलं शोभितं वीरजैर्द्र मैः ॥
 
There was an excellent mountain well-
known as Trikuta. On it there was a
vast lake beautiful with the trees grown
on its banks.
 
तत्रैकदा तद्गिरिकाननाश्रयः
करेणुभिर्वारणयूथपश्चरन् ।
वृतस्स्वयूथेन तृषार्दितेन तत्-

There, the leader of an elephant-herd,
of
the forests
that
which lived in
mountain, was once roving about with
female elephants; surrounded by its herd
afflicted with thirst, it then ran up to the
neighbourhood of that excellent lake.
