They marvelled and were filled with awe.

The sons of high-souled Sagar round

That elephant in reverence wound.

Then in the western region they

With might unwearied cleft their way.

There saw they with astonisht eyes

Saumanas, beast of mountain size.

Round him with circling steps they went

With greetings kind and reverent.

On, on—no thought of rest or stay—
