● भारत सरका
नि
विगाह्य तस्मिन्नमृताम्बु निर्मलं
पपौ निकामं स्नपयन् गतक्लमः ॥
It plunged into the lake, and bathing
itself and getting rid of fatigue, it drank
in plenty its pure and ambrosial water.
तं तत्र कश्चिन् [नृप] दैवचोदितो
ग्राहो बलीयांश्चरणे रुषाऽग्रहीत् ।
यदृच्छयैवं व्यसनं गतो गजो
यथाबलं सोऽतिबलो विचक्रमे ॥
S
There (in the water) a fate-instigated
crocodile of great strength furiously
caught the elephant-king by the leg..
That elephant of exceeding strength,
accidentally got into distress thus,
exerted to the utmost of its strength (to
free itself).
तथाऽऽतुरं यूथपतिं करेणवो
विकृष्यमाणं तरसा बलीयसा ।
विचुकशुनधियोऽपरे गजा:
पाणिग्रहास्तारयितुं न चाशकन् ।
