TRANSLATION
Surrounded by the herd’s other elephants, including females,
and followed by the young ones, Gajapati, the leader of the
elephants, made Trikata Mountain tremble all around because of
the weight of his body. He was perspiring, liquor dripped from his
mouth, and his vision was overwhelmed by intoxication. He was
being served by bumblebees who drank honey, and from a
distance he could smell the dust of the lotus flowers, which was
carried from the lake by the breeze. Thus surrounded by his asso-
ciates, who were afflicted by thirst, he soon arrived at the bank of
the lake.
