तं वीक्ष्य तूष्णीमकृतार्हणादिकं

तस्मा इमं शापमदाद्गस्त्यः ॥
 

Seeing him silent and failing to do him

honour, (sage) Agastya gave him this

curse (of an elephant-birth).
 

 
एवं विमोक्ष्य गजयूथपमब्जनाथ-

स्तेनापि पार्षद्गतिं गमितेन युक्तः ।

गन्धर्वसिद्धविबुधैरुपगीयमान-

कर्माऽद्भुतं स्वभवनं गरुडासनोऽगात् ॥
 

Having thus freed the elephant-chief,

the Lord, accompanied by that elephant,

endowed with the state of those who

remain constantly in his presence, left

for his wonderful abode on his Garuda,

His act being sung by Gandharvas,

Siddhas and the gods.
 

 
॥ इति गजेन्द्रमोक्षकथा ॥
 

THUS ENDS THE STORY OF THE
