aloud for their herd-chief, who was being

to save it.

अपारयन्नात्मविमोक्षणे चिरं

Unable to free itself, it thought for
long and then came to this resolve:

" These kinsmen of mine, the elephants,
are unable to rescue me who am in
trouble; how can the female-elephants be
able to? Nor am I also able to free
myself, caught as I am in the fatal noose
of this crocodile. I shall turn to that
Supreme Being, the greatest refuge.
