vrm.1.6	High bred from the classes of Iravata, the Elephant of Lord Indra, and from Mahapadma, Anjana and Vamana, too.
vrm.1.40	"While digging the earth there they beheld a mountain similar easterly Elephant named Virupaksha, which is bearing the eastern side of earth s surface on its head.
vrm.1.40	"Oh, Rama, the legatee of Raghu, that great easterly Elephant Virupaksha is bearing the entire eastern earth along with its mountains and forests on its head.
vrm.1.40	"On certain occasions, oh, Rama of Kakutstha, when that great Elephant moves its head desiring respite in tiresomeness then earthquakes will occur on earth.
vrm.1.40	"They circumambulated the great Elephant in supplication, oh Rama, and on worshipping that Elephant which is the protector of easterly direction they proceeded to netherworld duly splitting the earth.

vrm.1.41	"On hearing that enquiry of Amshuman that directional Elephant with great perception replied on its part saying, oh Amshuman, son of Asamanja, on achieving your mission you will return expeditiously along with the Horse.
vrm.1.41	"On hearing that word of that directional Elephant he departed from there, and on sequentially reaching other directional Elephants that are abiding in other directions of earth, he commenced to ask the same enquiry which he made with the first, according to the positioning of Elephants in directions, and according to the established procedures of their venerability.
vrm.2.2	"All of us want to see Rama, with long arms, the hero with great might born in the clan of Raghu his face protected by a white umbrella, moving on a great Elephant.
vrm.2.2	"After returning from battle, Rama goes to citizens on an Elephant or a chariot and inquires about their well being as though they were his own kinsmen, like a father does to his sons.
vrm.2.3	Vasishta, the best of Brahmans, hearing the words of king Dasaratha, ordered the officers who stood there with folded hands before the king, as follows: "Gather the following in the sacred fire house of the king at dawn: gold and the like, diamonds, things needed to perform worship, various herbs, white floral garlands, corn, honey and clarified butter in separate vessels, new clothes, chariot, all weapons, the four divisions of army, an Elephant with auspicious signs, white fan, flag staff, white umbrella, one hundred golden pots with brilliant shine, bull with gilded horns and a complete tiger skin".
vrm.2.3	He had great strength and walked like a vigorous Elephant.
vrm.2.8	How can Bharata who failed to achieve his purpose live under control of Rama whose flourishing object has been realised?" Rama" is chasing and bringing down Bharata as a lion chases an Elephant king in forest.
vrm.2.10	That Dasaratha touched Kaikeyi affectionately, as a great Elephant in a forest touches a female Elephant which is wounded by poisoned arrow.
vrm.2.14	All types of seeds, fragrant substances and precious stones of various kinds, honey, curd, clarified butter, parched grains of paddy, blades of Darbha grass, flowers, milk, eight beautiful virgins an Elephant in rut, a glorious chariot with four Horses, a special kind of sword called Nistrimsa, an excellent bow a palanquin with bearers an umbrella resembling the moon a pair of white chowries, a golden jug, a white bull with large humo on its back, an excellent lion with beautiful mane with large canine teeth, a throne, a tiger skin, fire with ignition all varieties of musical instruments,courtesans, women decked with ornaments, teachers, brahmanas, Cows, animals and Birds which are sacred, the best of citizens and men of country side, merchants along with their followers, all these and many other retainers speaking kind words, along with kings stand waiting for Rama s coronation.
vrm.2.15	A white bull, a white Horse a mighty and beautiful Elephant which was fit to be mounted by kings were readily waiting.
vrm.2.15	There he saw a beautiful Elephant called Satrunjaya with highly elevated body and Rama s royal conveyance.
vrm.2.20	Rama, who was greatly hurt, sighed like an Elephant, subdued his senses and went to his mothers palace along with Lakshmana Rama saw a much worshipped old man sitting at the gateway of the house and many other standing there.
vrm.2.21	After hearing the pathetic lamentation of his mother, he was highly anguished, as when an Elephant is removed highly from its way by men with flames of fire.
vrm.2.23	Seeing Rama with the tip of his eyes obliquely, Lakshmana spoke to him moving his forehand like an Elephant moving its trunk and causing his head to fall in oblique and upward direction.
vrm.2.23	Let all people see it!" "By my prowess, I shall turn back this destiny, as framing back an Elephant which is not caring a hook and which is fiercely running with violent force.
vrm.2.26	Oh, valiant prince! A glorious Elephant which is worshipped for its good characteristics, resembling a mountain crowned with a dark cloud is not seen ahead in your journey.
vrm.2.26	Oh, brave man pleasant with the sight! I do not see marching before you an Elephant having been placed in front with an excellent seat embroidered in gold meant for you While coronation is getting ready now, the colour of your face is appearing strange.
vrm.2.30	persecuted with many homilies like a female Elephant pierced with poisoned arrows, she shed tears that had long been held back even as a piece of wood would emit fire throught attrition with another Crystal like tears woozed from her eyes because of grief, like water drops from two lotus flowers.
vrm.2.30	"Oh Seetha, with thighs like the posteriors of an Elephant! Earlier, righeousness like fulfilling the father s command was practised by good men.
vrm.2.32	"Oh, the best of brahmanas! I am giving you this Elephant called Satrunjaya, given earlier to me by my maternal uncle as well as those thousand Elephants.
vrm.2.33	That Rama the virtuous man, by walking with strides of an Elephant in rut, approached his father s palace, which from a distance glowed like a peak of the Kailasa mountain.
vrm.2.37	Hearing the words of the chief minister, Rama who was well versed in courtesy, spoke then to Dasaratha as follows: "Of what use for me, who have forsaken enjoyments, cast away attachment for everything and am going to live in the forest on nomadic food, Oh king, with an army accompanying me?" "Who, after giving away a first class Elephant, will work out his mind on a rope with which it is tied? What use is there for him through attachment to the rope after abandaning the excellent Elephant?" "Oh, the best among good men! So also, what use is there for me by the army Oh, King, when I am giving away absolutely all.
vrm.2.40	In front of him was heard a huge noise of crying women, echoing like trumpeting of female Elephants when a lordly Elephant has been pinioned.
vrm.2.40	Seeing them coming by foot, though worthy of a chariot, habituated to comfort and unworthy of suffering, Rama commanded the charioteer with words: "Drive fast!" Rama the tiger among men, feeling pained, as an Elephant being pricked by a good, indeed was not able to bear that plight of his father and his mother.
vrm.2.42	The unfortunate one will wake up from the hard earth stained with dust, sighing like a bull Elephant rising from the side of a hill From today the inhabitants of the forest will behold that long armed lord of the world, Rama, rising from the ground and wandering around like an orphan
vrm.2.48	Oppressed with sorrow and weeping, women in every house heaped reproaches on their husbands who came home, with words as sharp as pricks of the goad which attack an Elephant.
vrm.2.48	Rama, whose face is like the full moon, of dark brown complexion, whose collar bone is invisible because of its being covered with flesh, a conqueror of foes, whose arms descend to his knees, whose eyes resemble lotuses, the elder brother of Lakshmana, who takes initiative in speaking and expresses with sweetness, truthful of speech and possessed of extra ordinary strength, is benevolent to all, delightfully charming as the moon, that tiger among men, as mighty as an Elephant in rut, that great car warrior, will surely adorn the woods, while roaming through them.
vrm.2.51	While Lakshmana son of Dasaratha, who was concerned with the welfare of the people was thus speaking the truth out of his affection for his elder brother Rama, Guha, overcome with agony and oppressed with adversity shed tears like an Elephant tormented with fever.
vrm.2.55	Seetha who was walking in the middle of both of them was like an auspicious female Elephant in the middle of two Elephants.
vrm.2.58	Then, Sumantra, who joined his palms in reverence, approached the monarch who was repenting about Rama alone, filled with pain and sorrow, advanced in age, greatly anguished, sighing like a newly caught Elephant and reflecting on something as a sick Elephant.
vrm.2.60	Seetha who stays in the forest, takes refuge in the arms of Rama and hence does not give Herself to fear, even by seeing an Elephant or a lion or a tiger.
vrm.2.63	"Without my senses under control and with an intent to kill there a wild Buffalo or an Elephant or any other wild animal coming in the night at that place for the purpose of drinking water, I was ready with my bow at a solitary place.
vrm.2.63	"Meanwhile, in that darkness and not within the react of the eye, I heard the sound of a pitcher being filled up, the sound of which appeared like that of an Elephant.
vrm.2.63	"With an intent to hit that Elephant, I drew out a shining arrow resembling a serpent, targeted towards the direction sound and discharged it.
vrm.2.64	O, venerable sage! Wearing a bow in hand, I came to the bank of Sarayu River with an intent to kill an Elephant arrived to a ford for drinking water or any other wild animal.
vrm.2.64	Guessing it as an Elephant, I killed it with an arrow.
vrm.2.64	O, honorable sage! With a desire to kill an Elephant by targeting the sound, I released an iron arrow, and thus your son was killed hit Approaching as per his request, closer to him who was suffering from pain, I took out the arrow soon from his vital part.
vrm.2.65	Then, those beautiful women miserably cried loudly with their voice, like female Elephants crying when their group leader an Elephant was removed from their place in the forest.
vrm.2.65	While the king was deceased, all the women saw Kausalya who fell on the floor appearing as a female Elephant, which was killed and felled on the ground.
vrm.2.69	He was seen by me, as he was floating in that pond defiled with cow dung, drinking an oil through his hollowed palms and laughing again and again Thereafter, having eaten cooked rice mixed with gingelly seeds repeatedly, with his head bent down and with his whole body smeared with oil, he plunged into the oil itself I saw in the dream, the ocean dry up, the moon fall on the ground, the earth molested as if covered by darkness, a tusk of an Elephant on which the monarch rode broken to pieces, a blazing fire suddenly extinguished, the earth riven, the various trees dry up, and the mountains whirl up into a mist.
vrm.2.72	Kaikeyi lifted up from the floor, her son Bharata, who was pained with sorrow, looking like a god, who fell on the ground like a sala tree, cut off by an axe, appearing like an Elephant in rut, looking like the moon and sun,afflicted with grief as he was and spoke the following words: O, the highly illustrious prince! Arise,arise! Why are you lying down? Gentlemen, like you, respected in the assembly of men, do not grieve indeed.
vrm.2.72	That high soled king, who was excellent in understanding the Universal spirit, departed to the world, crying O, Rama, O, Sita, O, Lakshmana! Your father spoke the following last words also, when he was abandoned by the operation of time like a huge Elephant surrendered into a trap.
vrm.2.74	As an Elephant in a forest pricked with a javelin and a goad and as a hissing serpent, Bharata was enraged and fell on the ground.
vrm.2.87	That gentle, extremely courageous and the mighty armed young prince, whose shoulders resembled a lion s his large eyes opening like a flowering lotus and having pleasing appearance, momentarily sighed and in his extreme anguish, sank to the ground suddenly like an Elephant that has been wounded in the heart with goads.
vrm.2.91	The Elephant keeper did not recognise his Elephant.
vrm.2.94	"This mountain resembles an Elephant with ichors flowing from its forehead, as from its crevices, springs and cascades flow here and there.
vrm.2.96	"Let Kaikeyi, who is craving for the kingdom see, with great sorrow, her son slain by me today in battle, as a tree is crushed down by an Elephant.
vrm.2.97	"Here is that colossal Elephant who is moving at the head of the army called Shatrunjaya, the aged companion of our sagacious father.
vrm.2.99	All those dwellers in the woods, seeing those princes resembling leaders of Elephant herbs meeting together there in that great forest, losing their cheerfulness, began to shed tears.
vrm.2.100	"I hope you preserve the City of Ayodhya, furnished with everything and flourishing, that was formerly inhabited by our heroic ancestors, O my dear brother, that is worthy of its name, with its fortified gates, its Elephant Horses and chariots that fill it, with its brahmins, warriors and merchants in thousands, ever engaged in their respective duties, with its noble citizens self controlled and full of energy, with its palaces in various shapes and the learned who abound there.
vrm.2.101	Rama embraced his brother Bharata, who sighed again and again like an Elephant in rut, and spoke as follows: "How should a man of noble birth, rich in Sattva goodness, dignified and who has observed sacred vows like myself, commit sin for the sake of a mere kingdom?"
vrm.2.103	Seeing Rama lying on the earth, has the lord of the earth, like an Elephant crushed by a land slide on a bank where he was sleeping, those brother along with Seetha approached him from all sides and weepingly sprinkled water on him.
vrm.2.112	The valiant Bharata, who knew righteousness worshipped those sandals which were well decorated made a circumambulation to Rama and kept the sandals on the head of an excellent Elephant.
vrm.3.2	He skewered three Lions, four Tigers, two wolves, ten spotted deer, and a big head of an Elephant with tusks and fouled with fat on an iron spear, and he is yelling with his deafening voice.
vrm.3.4	Lakshmana", a very deep pit be dug for this furious and ferocious reprobate in this forest, as though for an Elephant.
vrm.3.4	And Raghava on hearing those words of the Rakshasa ordered Lakshmana, Lakshmana, a very deep pit be dug for this furious and ferocious reprobate in this forest, as though for an Elephant.
vrm.3.14	"Then Bhadramanda gave birth to the girl named Iravati and her son is Elephant the great, Airavata, the protector of world.
vrm.3.16	"On easily touching very clear and cold water with its very broad trunk that intensely thirsty wild Elephant is backing away its trunk for the water is that cold.
vrm.3.17	He whose face is radiant, arms lengthy, eyes large like lotus petals, stride like that of an Elephant, wearing bunches of hair tufts, delicate yet greatly vigorous, possessor of all kingly aspects, complexion deep blue like blue lotus, similar to Kamadeva in brilliance and in simile to Indra, the Rakshasi has seen such a Rama and became lovesick.
vrm.3.23	b, a "If I am infuriated I can eliminate even the king of Gods, wielder of Thunderbolt and a trekker on ruttish Elephant Iravata, namely Indra in a war, then why talk about these two humans.
vrm.3.26	With both of his arms strewn around Duushana fell down onto earth like a haughty and gigantic Elephant when both of its tusks are broken down.
vrm.3.27	That grave and tumultuous encounter chanced between Rama and Trishira is like the extremely forceful encounter between a loin and an Elephant.
vrm.3.28	Then with acutely edged tubular, iron, and crescent edged arrows Khara swatted Rama in that combat, as a great Elephant will be swatted with a goad.
vrm.3.28	By that Khara is enraged, and as one who is aware of striking crucial parts/war tactics assaulted on the chest of Rama with four arrows, and even on other limbs, as one would prod an Elephant with lancets.
vrm.3.31	"Oh, Ravana, it will be unbefitting to raise an eye to see Rama in war, who will be then like a majestic Elephant that has an impeccable dynasty and bloodline as its mammoth trunk, personal radiance as its indomitable might, very firm pair of arms as its pernicious tusks, more so, who will be with the redolence of the irrepressible lineage of Raghava s.
vrm.3.32	One who is severally bruised in several combats of Devas and Asuras with the thunderbolts from the Vajra weapon of Indra, and one who is severally blotched on his chest when the prongs of the tusks of Airavata, the lordly Elephant of Indra, gored his chest, at such a Ravana Shuurpanakha saw.
vrm.3.35	This is the tree on the branch of which once highly mighty Divine Eagle Garuda swooped to perch, clawing an Elephant and a mammoth tortoise, for the purpose of dining them out on that tree branch.
vrm.3.35	For the sake of the grace of those sages Garuda took flight from that tree, grasping that broken tree branch of a hundred Yojana length along with those pendulous sages with his beak, and both of the Elephant and tortoise with both of his claws.
vrm.3.35	b, a That virtue souled Garuda consumed the meat of his prays, namely the Elephant and the giant tortoise with a single foot, and destroyed the province of tribesmen with the same broken tree branch, and thus that supreme avian Garuda gained an incomparable happiness in rescuing those great sages.
vrm.3.46	"Your hips are beamy, thighs burly akin to Elephant s trunks, and these two breasts of yours that are ornamented with best jewellery are rotund, rubbing and bumping each other, and they are swinging up and up, their nipples are brawny and jutting out, and they are smoothish like palm fruits, thus they are covetable for they are beautiful.
vrm.3.47	"Which imparity is there among the metals of gold and lead, which imparity is there among the waters of sandalwood and sewage, which imparity is there between an Elephant and a wildcat of forests, such an imparity exists between you and the son of Dasharatha.
vrm.3.51	On clasping Ravana with incisive claws Jatayu lacerated deeply and rampantly, as a mahout, an Elephant trainer controller, sitting astride on it will try to control an uncontrollable Elephant that is running amok with an incisive goad.
vrm.3.52	She that Vaidehi who is so delicate like reddish leaflets of trees made that blackish bodied lord of Rakshasas, Ravana, well and truly lambent, herself becoming a golden girdle girded around the Elephant like Ravana.
vrm.3.56	"You threaten her with dreadful admonitions and again speaking imploringly you all have to bring her under control, as a wild she Elephant of age will be brought under control.
vrm.3.60	Oh, Elephant, thou mightst beheld her whose thighs likens to your trunk at that problematic hour, thus methinks, and that Maithili is familiar to thee, and oh, best Elephant, if thou beholdest her, thou tallest me.

vrm.4.1	While that great soul Rama is walking ahead, that great souled Lakshmana whose stride is also like that of an Elephant, and whose deeds are agreeable to Rama, vigilantly protected Rama with an un despaired mind and even by his virtue and strength.
vrm.4.1	On seeing those two Rama and Lakshmana who are advancing his way, he that great soul who is a tree branch animal, and he who strides like an Elephant, derived profound agony that muffled him in worry, and he is engulfed under the weight of his fear.
vrm.4.11	"He bellowed uprooting trees that are rooted nearby, scooping the earth with hooves, and insolently goring the gateway with horns like a goring Elephant.
vrm.4.11	"String the bowstring to this bow of yours, an alternate of Elephant s trunk, and stretch it out up to your ear, and release a great arrow.

vrm.4.18	Vali who like an Elephant plumped in slough continued to say slowly, with tears fully impeding his throat and with an agonised moan, on keenly observing Rama.
vrm.4.24	"The sin of mine in killing my brother assumed a form of an Elephant, where my sinister motives of killing my own brother have assumed that Elephant s hind and tail, and my causing agony to my own brother has become that Elephant s head, eyes, trunk, and tusks, with them that berserk and monstrous Elephant called sin, is goring me as it would gore a riverbed.
vrm.4.24	"Anguished and unprotected, such as I am, oh, king, I am being distracted from my departed husband by these Vanara misters, and it is unapt of you to not to kill me, as I am incapable to live without him, whose sprightly gait is like that of an Elephant, a best one among fly jumping Vanara s, a courageous one, and who wears a precious and exquisite golden pendant.
