ये भावा हृदयं हरन्ति नितरां शोभाभरैः संभृता-
स्तैरेवास्य कलेः कलेवरपुषो दैनंदिनं वर्तनम् ॥ १०२ ॥

hloming lotuses in them, and the winds burn his body
like fires !
104 (Though) he tore up large slabs of stones on
the mountain side with an exuberance of excessive and
effective (ra) valour of the sharp talons, under the

elephants could not get even a slice of flesh ;anywhere-
for fate was averse !
