VALMIKI RAMAYANA NOUN

vrm.1.6	Born in Vindhya Mountains, and also from Himalayan regions, mighty are the Elephants fully vigorous and fattened ones, and most powerful in their strength and each in similitude is a huge mountain.
vrm.1.6	are the Elephants of that city
vrm.1.6	That city is always full with vigorous and mountain like Elephants bred mainly from three classes viz.
vrm.1.13	"For Horses stables, reposing stalls for Elephants, like that great billets for soldiers may be built for those foreign country dwellers arriving in here on their Horses and Elephants along with their soldiers.
vrm.1.17	They can catch ruttish Elephants that tumultuously move in forests, and just with the sound of their blare they make sky flying Birds to fall.
vrm.1.18	Rama is admittedly a champion of riding Elephants and Horses, also in tactical charioting, and he rejoices in the art of archery, and absorbed in the obedient service of his father.
vrm.1.24	"Various Vultures are screeching with fierce sonority, and Tigers, wild Boars, and Elephants render this forest atypical.
vrm.1.24	b, a "Later at sometime, a Yaksha female who is a guise changer at her wish, possessor of the strength of a thousand Elephants, wife of clever Sunanda, and she whose son is Maricha, the one equal to Indra in his bravery, prevailed here, let you be safe Rama.
vrm.1.25	"It is said that Yaksha s strength is trivial, and this is an yakshii, more so a female, how then this yakshii frail by her femineity can exert the strength of a thousand Elephants? On hearing the sentence of Raghava with illimitable dynamism, Vishvamitra said this sentence to the enemy subduer Rama along with Lakshmana, cheering them up with his pleasant words, "Listen by which a female became outstanding by jeer strength.
vrm.1.25	Forefather" Brahma also gave the strength of a thousand Elephants to her, but he that highly remarkable Brahma did not give a son to that Yaksha, anticipating male to be more hazardous.
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.1.41	"All the Elephants that safeguard the directions of earth which have the faculties of articulation and eloquence have adored Amshuman and motivated him by saying, you will be going from here taking the Horse.
vrm.1.41	"On hearing that common blessing of all the directional Elephants, he that nimble footed Amshuman has gone to the place where his paternal uncles, sons of Sagara, were rendered as mounds of ashes.
vrm.1.43	b, a "Some of the Gods with Aircrafts that are like cities in their shape and size, and some with Horses that are prancing, and some with best Elephants that are staggering, at the very sight of plunging Ganga, have entered the firmament at that place.
vrm.1.48	"These two youngsters, oh, sage, let safety betide you, striding like audacious Elephants and arrogant Lions, bearing a similitude to adventurous Tigers and adamantine bulls, and wielding quivers, swords, and bows, are valorous with their valour matching that of Vishnu, and with their eyes broad like lotus petals and with youthfulness in the offing they look like the exceptionally beautiful twin Gods, Ashwin brothers, by their physique.
vrm.1.50	b, a "These two youngsters, oh, sage, let safety betide you, striding like audacious Elephants and arrogant Lions, bearing a similitude to adventurous Tigers and adamantine bulls, and wielding quivers, swords, and bows, are valorous with their valour matching that of Vishnu, and with their eyes broad like lotus petals and with youthfulness in the offing they look like the exceptionally beautiful twin Gods, Ashwin brothers, by their physique.
vrm.1.53	I bestow upon you fourteen thousand Elephants adorned with golden girdles, golden necklets and golden goads.
vrm.1.53	truly, this alone is my treasure, thus I do not require your gilded chariots, Horses or Elephants.
vrm.1.54	This Akshauhini unit of army is plethoric, overcrowded with Elephants, Horses, and chariots, and overspread with flags and Elephants, thereby he is mightier than me.
vrm.1.55	"At that very moment, oh, Rama the legatee of Raghu, Vishvamitra s army comprising foot soldiers, Elephants, chariots and Horses is utterly slaughtered by the Yavana, Mleccha etc.
vrm.1.74	He has also given umpteen number of Cows, millions of excellent shawls and silk dresses, and Elephants, Horses, chariots, foot soldiers, besides hundreds of highly decorated girls, divine in their mien, as unexcelled chambermaids and handmaidens to the brides.
vrm.2.1	He was efficient in riding and taming of Elephants and Horses.
vrm.2.7	The Elephants and Horses were also merry.
vrm.2.15	The ministers in chief who were beloved to the king, were well adorned and came there on Horse carriages and Elephants.
vrm.2.16	Excellent Horses looking like infantine Elephants were tied to the chariot, which was moving quickly.
vrm.2.16	Thereupon, hundreds and thousands of important people mounted on excellent Horses and soldiers mounted on Elephants, then followed Rama.
vrm.2.16	While bards and panegyrists were moving in front praising with great respect, invoking blessings and eulogised by the most excellent instrumentalists, Rama, like Kubera the god of wealth, went with resounding Horses and Elephants.
vrm.2.16	It was full of male and female Elephants, Horses and chariots.
vrm.2.18	"Let Bharata rule this earth, by residing in Ayodhya filled with various types of precious thing together with Horses, chariots and Elephants.
vrm.2.23	This earth will become impermeable, uninhabited with heads hands and thighs of Elephants Horses and men crushed, having been hit by my sword.
vrm.2.23	"Now, Elephants can fall down on earth, being hit by the gush of my sword, like mountains in blaze, like clouds, savidyutaH with flashes of lightening.
vrm.2.23	"As I stand holding a bow with fingers wound with shields made of allegator skin, how any man will fancy himself a hero among men?" "While I overpower one with many arrows and many with a single arrow, I discharge my arrows at vitals of men, Horses and Elephants.
vrm.2.25	"Oh, son! Let the great Elephants Lions with tusks, Tigers, Bears, terrible he Buffaloes with horns not to be hostile to you.
vrm.2.27	I shall proceed to the forest, which is very much inaccessible and occupied by Vanaras, Elephants as well as other animals.
vrm.2.28	"Even streams filled with crocodiles full of mire are difficult to be crossed by rut Elephants also.
vrm.2.29	"Oh Rama! Antelopes, Lions, Elephants, Tigers, Sarabhas, Birds, Yaks and all others which roam in the forest, run away after seeing your form, since they have never seen your figure before.
vrm.2.31	"If you decided to go to the forest filled with antelopes and Elephants, I, in front wearingthe bow, shall accompany you to the forest.
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	The same Sri Rama who was followed by a strong four wings of army comprising Elephants, Chariots, Cavalry and Infantry, is walking lonely with Seetha followed by Lakshmana.
vrm.2.33	Scared by fear of us, let all the snakes abandon their holes, the dears and Birds the mountain peaks, the Elephants and the Lions the forest itself.
vrm.2.36	"Let important weapons, chiefs of police and vehicles, hunters knowing the secrets of forest accompany Ramascion of Kakutsa" "Killing deer and Elephants, drinking forest honey, seeing various rivers, he would not remember of sovereignty" "Let the granary and the treasury belonging to me be sent to Rama residing in the uninhabited forest.
vrm.2.37	There is none indeed in this world who is not devoted to Rama" "Oh, Kaikeyi! You will see now itself that beasts, Elephants, Deers and Birds going with Rama and trees also turning their faces towards Rama.
vrm.2.40	The city of Ayodhya is filled with flurry, with its Elephants intoxicated in rut and highly excited and resonant with tinkling of ornaments of Horses.
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.2.41	Elephants threw out the morsels of food they had taken into their mouths.
vrm.2.41	Afflicted by fear and grief, the earth with its mountains, deprived of that great souled Rama, suffered a terrible convulsion, as when it is abandoned by Indra the lord of rain, and a great uproar reigned in the city which was filled with Elephants, warriors and Horses.
vrm.2.43	Together with his wife, accompanied by Lakshmana and walking like king of Elephants having a bow in hand, the mighty armed hero surely will have entered the forest In the forest, what fate will befall them who had never seen such a suffering before and who have been sent by you to a forest life as per the wishes of Kaikeyi?”
vrm.2.50	The interior of the forest was reddened noisy again and again by the Elephants guarding the quarters, by the ruttiest wild Elephants and the Elephants of excellent breed used for riding by Gods.
vrm.2.51	We can able to withstand even a vast army too, comprising of four parts Elephants, chariots, cavalry, and infantry.
vrm.2.51	People will joyfully move in the capital belonging to my father and the city with its quadrangular places allocated at lovely sites, and well aligned roads, rich in mansions of well to do men, temples and royal palaces adorned with the foremost of courtesans, its chariots Horses and Elephants that obstruct the roads, the musical instruments that resound there full of all blessings and crowded with merry and well fed men, well provided with gardens and royal parks and bright with festivities carried on under the patronage of associations.
vrm.2.54	“I consider the abode of Chitrakuta as the right place for you to stay, Oh Rama, possessed of great strength! You set off for that well known, sacred and lovely mountain, Chitrakuta which is adoned with clusters of trees of every description, frequented by Kinnaras and Nagas, is rendered charming by the cried of peacocks and infested with lordly Elephants and bountiful with tubers and fruits.
vrm.2.54	“Since herds of Elephants and troops of deer wander all around in the woodlands there, you will visibly notice them Oh Rama!”
vrm.2.54	“After reaching the auspicious and absolutely beautiful Chitrakuta mountain, reveberant in all direction with the notes of small white cranes and cucukoo Birds as well as with many kinds of deer and Elephants in rut, settle down there in a hermitage.
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.2.55	Having strolled in the charming forest, mad noisy by a number of Peacocks and which was inhabited by Elephants and Monkeys and reaching an agreeable level ground at the bank of the river wearing an undejected look finally sought for an abode for the night.
vrm.2.56	“See this Chitrakuta mountain with a high and mighty peak, wide spread with a multitude of Elephants and made to resound by a congregation of Birds.
vrm.2.56	Seetha, Rama and Lakshmana who subdued their senses, very happily strolled in that excellent forest, filled with many classes and multitude of beasts and Birds, trees having multi coloured crowns of flowers, and resonating with sounds of Elephants in rut and of antelopes.
vrm.2.57	Beholding Ayodhya as if deserted in silence, Sumantra becoming very much distressed in mind and having afflicted with intense anguish, surmised as follows: “I hope the city of Ayodhya with its Elephants, Horses, people and the kings was not burnt away by a fire of sorrow and blazing grief towards Rama.
vrm.2.58	“Oh, Sumantra! Where can Rama the virtuous man abide, taking refuge at the root of a tree? What that Rama, who enjoyed very many pleasantries, can eat now?” “Oh, Sumantra! How can Rama the prince, who was habituated to good beds, sleep with such discomfort on a floor like an orphan?” Foot“ soldiers, Chariots and Elephants used to follows whenever Rama was marching ahead.
vrm.2.59	“Oh, emperor! The city of Ayodhya with its joy less people, with its Elephants and Horses looking miserable, with sighing exhaustion due to cries of pain, filled with sounds of moaning, cheerless and feeling anguish due to Ramas’ exile, appears to me, like Queen Kausalya without her son.
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.2.67	“In a land without emperor, sixty year old Elephants with bells tied around their tusks, do not roam around on royal high ways “In a ruler less land, the noise of plucking the bow string with the palm, produced by archers continuously discharging arrows while practicing the use of their bows, is not heard.
vrm.2.68	Perceiving a locality called Vishnu padam, Vipasa river, Salmali trees, rivers, ponds, tanks, pools and lakes, as well as seeing many kinds of Lions, Tigers, antelopes and Elephants, they proceeded by that broad lofty high way desirous as they were to execute the command of their master.
vrm.2.70	The king Kekaya, treating him hospitably gave that Bharata the best of Elephants, Woolen clothes of varied colors, antelope skins and riches gold and silver vessels etc.
vrm.2.70	Likewise, Aswapati sent some attendants, who were dear, reliable, endowed with virtues and inmates of his palace with Bharata to accompany him on the return journey Yudhajit, his maternal uncle gave him as gifts, Elephants of Airavata race born in Indrasira mountain range and which were charming to behold as well as mules which could walk quickly and were well trained
vrm.2.70	The glorious Bharata crossed his very big palace, augmented with men Elephants and Horses and entered the excellent royal high way.
vrm.2.71	“Here, as before, important persons indeed are not seen going into the city or coming out it in carriages or on Horses or on Elephants.
vrm.2.75	“This vast kingdom, endowed with Elephants, Horses and chariots and stock piled with grains and riches, has been made over to you by her.
vrm.2.75	“May the sin of him, who fails to observe the code of warfare followed by the virtuous in a battle abundantly provided with Elephants Horses chariots weapons and men, be his with whose counsel my elder brother went to exile.
vrm.2.81	There was a huge hallooing sound generated while the people invited were coming on chariots, Horses and Elephants.
vrm.2.82	Thereupon, from every house, warriors merchants, Shudras and Brahmanas rose up and harnessed their chariots to Camels, mules, well bred Elephants and Horses.
vrm.2.83	Nine thousand Elephants suitably duly arranged escorted Bharata the joy of the Ikshvaku dynasty, on his journey.
vrm.2.83	Having gone for a considerable distance in their chariots, carts, Horses and Elephants, they reached the River Ganga close to the city of Shringaverapura, where the valiant Guha, a bosom friend of Rama along with multitude of relatives was ruling that region carefully.
vrm.2.86	"They will joyfully inhabit my father capital City, with its pleasant cross roads and meeting places, with its main roads well laid out, sumptuous with large houses and lofty mansions, with all the gems they are encrusted, with Elephants Horses and chariots that abound there, the sound of trumpets with which the city resonates, the many diversions it contains, its properous and well fed people, its luxurious gardens and parks as well as the assmeblies and festivals that continuously take place inti.
vrm.2.86	Rama" and Lakshmana, who were capable of tormenting their enemies, possessing great strength, wearing matted locks of hari and clothes made of bark, like unto the leaders of herd of Elephants, wielding excellent bow, arrows and sword, looking back at me, went away with Seetha.
vrm.2.88	"Without guards to watch over its ramparts, with its unrestrained Horses and Elephants, with its city gates laid open, without any defenders, denuded of its happy army, plunged in desolation in difficulties and exposed, that royal capital of Ayodhya will be shunned like poisoned food even by the enemies.
vrm.2.89	Goaded on by their mahouts, Elephants adorned with their flags, swimming across the river, looked life winged mountains.
vrm.2.91	"O, Venerable One! Either the king or the prince should always keep away from the places occupied by ascetics" "O, Holy one! Spirited Horses, men and rare Elephants in rut covering an immense area are accompanying me.
vrm.2.91	Splendid square mansions with stables for Elephants and Horses as well as resplendent gates with watch towers flanked by turrets were seen.
vrm.2.91	The keepers of animals fed Horses, Elephants, Donkeys, Camels and bullocks the offspring of Surabhi the divine cow with their suitable feed.
vrm.2.91	Let Bharata be well! Likewise, let Rama too be at east!" Having obtained that hospitality, the infantry, the cavalry as well as those mounted on Elephants and their keepers too, no longer acknowledging their leaders, spoke the following words:
vrm.2.91	Elephants, Donkeys, Camels, bullocks, Horses, animals and Birds there were suitably well fed.
vrm.2.91	Those soldiers saw there heaps of twings used for cleaning the teeth with white brushes at their tips, white sandal pastes stored in caskets, polished mirrors, piles of Clothes, thousands of pairs of shoes and sandals, caskets containing collyrium for the eyes combs, brushed, raiments bows, protectors of vitals, strange couches and seats, drinking ponds for Donkeys Camels Elephants and Horses, lakes with good stairs for descent having water lilies and lotuses with sky blue colour, with clear water offering a comfortable bath and soft grasses having a colour of Nipa tree and of cat s eye gems useful for feeding animals.
vrm.2.92	"O, the illustrious chief of army! Direct the forces filled with Elephants Horses and chariots either towards the southern route or to the left proceeding southward.
vrm.2.92	Female and male Elephants, wearing golden chains and flags, distinguished by the sound of bells, like thundering clouds at the end of a summer marched in a form.
vrm.2.92	That vast army with its countless Elephants Horses and chariots proceeded, covering the southern direction, like a great cloud that has risen in the sky and on the other bank of the Ganges, by mountains and streams, crossing the woods inhabited by deer and Birds.
vrm.2.92	That army of Bharata, with its squadrons of rejoicing Elephants Horses and warriors, penetrating into the vast forest, frightening innumerable beasts and Birds, appeared resplendent there.
vrm.2.93	Submerged by the waves of Horses and Elephants of great speed at that time, the earth became invisible for a long time.
vrm.2.93	"By my Elephants appearing themselves like mountains, the lovely peaks of Chitrakuta mountain are being trampled.
vrm.2.95	"There is none in the world, who would not be relieved of his fatigue and feel refreshed on the banks of this enchanting river, frequented by herds of Elephants, who with Lions and Monkeys, come here to drink and which is adorned with innumerable flowers in full bloom.
vrm.2.96	Meanwhile, frightened by that gigantic clamour, the leaders of Elephants and other animal troops, in rut, were tormented and fled in different directions from there.
vrm.2.96	"The lordly Elephants in the forest, the Buffaloes in the great woods and the wild beasts frightened by Lions are suddenly running away in various directions.
vrm.2.96	Looking in northern direction, Lakshmana saw a huge army, full of chariots, steeds and Elephants accompanied by smart foot soldiers.
vrm.2.96	Lakshmana informed Rama about that army which was full of Horses, Elephants and chariots decorated with flags and spoke the following words also.
vrm.2.96	Among the cavalry, some are cavorting merrily on their swift Horses, while others are beaming with delight, mounted on their Elephants.
vrm.2.96	"The Elephants and Horses whose breasts were laid open with my darts and the men too struck down by me, be dragged about by savage beasts.
vrm.2.97	That royal army of Ikshvaku race, crowded with Elephants Horses and chariots was encamped around the edge of the mountain occupying an area of one Yojana and a half.
vrm.2.99	At the side of the mountain, this is a roaming place of Elephants, having huge teeth, violent as they are and ferociously roaring at each other.
vrm.2.100	"Are you supervising the woods inhabited by Elephants? I hope female Elephants are there to you in good number.
vrm.2.100	I hope you are not simply satisfied with the existing population of female Elephants, Horses and male Elephants.
vrm.2.103	Some went on their Horses, some others on their Elephants, some in their chariots covered with ornaments while the youthful people went on foot.
vrm.2.103	Frightened by that noise, the wild Elephants, surrounded by female Elephants, perfuming the quarters with teh scent of their ichor, went to another wood from there.
vrm.2.105	"O, Rama! May the Elephants, intoxicated with ichor be heard trumpeting on the highway, when you do return and the women of the inner apartments rejoice, all happily joined together.
vrm.2.113	That extensive army of Bharata, following him with vehicles, carts and Elephants, turned back again towards Ayodhya.
vrm.2.114	He entered the city, frequented by cats and owls, abiding with crouched men and Elephants and looking like a night enveloped by gloom, indistinctness and darkness.
vrm.2.114	Ayodhya looked like an afflicted army, shattered of its armour in a major conflict, whose ensigns borne on Horses, Elephants and chariots had been torn, and its heroic warriors slain.
vrm.2.114	"O, Sumantra! I do not hear, as before, the sound of the Horses, the sound of the intoxicating Elephants and the clattering of the great chariots in this city now.
vrm.2.115	When Bharata had left, the army too, abounding in Elephants, Horses and chariots marched unbidden.
vrm.2.117	"The dry dung of Horses and Elephants of that high souled Bharata s encamped army caused much spoliation around here.
vrm.3.11	The moved on watching spotted deer banded in herds, the wild Boars, large horned Buffaloes maddened in virility, and the ruttish Elephants rending trees like their enemies.
vrm.3.11	On going far on their way, and when the sun is dangling in the western skiy, together they saw a charming lake of one Yojana width fully overloaded with red and white lotuses, overspread with sporting Elephants, and over flurried with waterfowls like saarasa Birds, kaadamba Birds, swans and with others kinds too.
vrm.3.11	Rama has seen hundreds of flowered forest trees that are battered by the trunks of Elephants, that are adorned with Monkeys, reverberated by hundreds of lusty bird
vrm.3.14	"Then Maatangi s childrenm are Elephants, oh, best one among men, Rama, and Shveta gave birth to eight Elephants that are at eight quarters of world, sustaining the world on their head.
vrm.3.15	"Here and there are the golden, silvery and coppery ores on the mountains, and they are shining forth like cow eye ventilators on walls and also like the superb paintings on Elephants.
vrm.3.19	But then, though the nightwalker wielding sharp arrows have become ineffectual to trounce Rama like the wild Elephants which will become ineffectual to overcome the blazingly uprising wildfire.
vrm.3.25	Those massive bodied and exceptionally mighty Rakshasas came jostling like immense clouds in their eagerness to kill Rama in that war, while some mounted on chariots and Horsebacks, and some more riding mountain ridges like Elephants rushed in on Rama.
vrm.3.25	And even shred are the heads of Rakshasas, along with their ornamented arms and thighs similar to the trunks of Elephants.
vrm.3.25	Likewise, he even ripped off the Elephants along with their riders, and the Horses along with their cavaliers.
vrm.3.25	Numerous Horses and Elephants are felled.
vrm.3.29	"Although you hold sway over a gigantic force abounding with Elephants Horses and chariots, you have perpetrated heinous deeds in Dandaka forests that are loathsome to all the worlds, that is unseemliest to this soldiery.
vrm.3.33	"If a king is inaccessible to spies for exchange of information, unavailable for subjects for an audience for a similar appraisal, more so if he is intemperately not able to impose self discipline, people will eschew such a king from a distance as Elephants will refrain themselves from the mud of river from a distance.
vrm.3.35	On seeing the delightful, serene, and marvellous cascades, and cities that are abundant in wealth and agricultural produce, and abundant with gemlike womenfolk, and that are replete with Elephants, Horses, and chariots, Ravana proceeded further.
vrm.3.38	"At one time even I was on the rove around this earth, taking pride in my valour, bearing the strength of a thousand Elephants, mountainous in my size and black cloudlike in my sheen, wearing ear knobs and a crown made out of refined gold, with a bludgeon as my weapon, and such as I was, I rambled Dandaka forest causing terror to the world, and eating the fleshes of sages.
vrm.3.46	How you are not frightened from them? b, a "Being alone in this forest, oh, lady with a lovely face, how you are unafraid of horrendous and mighty Elephants possessed of rut? b, a
vrm.3.48	"It is encumbered with Elephants, Horses and chariots, well sounded by the sounds of trumpets, and with trees which yield fruits that fulfil all the savours, and it is bedecked with chirrupy pleasure gardens.
vrm.3.69	He is eating the highly brutal Bears, Lions, predators, and Elephants, and he is outstretching both of his deadly arms, each of which is stretchable to a Yojana distance, and the bothers neared such a Rakshasa.
vrm.3.71	b, a "Such as I am, I have been eating the Lions, Elephants, animals, and Tigers that are on the move in this forest, hauling them in with both of my overlong arms.
vrm.3.71	b, a "Oh, brave Kabandha, on bringing dried up firewood that was rent at times by Elephants, and on digging a large trench, we will incinerate you in it.
vrm.3.73	Sage" Matanga so methodised that woodland, where even the Elephants are rendered incapable to trespass in that hermitage of sage Matanga disturbing its serenity.
vrm.3.73	"In front of Pampa there is a bountiful but an unclimbable mountain is there with trees in full blossom, which is well protected by baby Elephants, and which in earlier times was purposefully created by Brahma, and that alone is Mountain Rishyamuka.
vrm.3.73	"Oh, Rama, there the blaring trumpet blasts of baby Elephants that amuse themselves at Lake Pampa, and of those that are the indwellers of Matanga hermitage, even there on Mountain Rishyamuka are audible.
vrm.3.73	"The mighty and massy dark cloud coloured Elephants will be hitting head on, and with dripping blood streams on their jumbo heads and temples, they disperse and move about separately, only to come together for yet another round of head to head collision.
vrm.3.73	"There the Elephants are quenched on drinking water of Pampa Lake, that is daintily clean, and neatly clear, springlike for touch, and in which all scents of flowers of that lake are included, and then they will be collectively re entering the forests, for they are forest ranging Elephants.
vrm.4.1	rambling Snakes and Elephants and restless are the deer and Birds flocks, as well.
vrm.4.1	"This Pampa Lake is shining forth with its tranquil waters, that contain lotuses, blue water lily s, and red lotuses, along with swans and water Birds that permeate it Lotuses" with the resplendence of tender sun enwrapping its waters, pollen grain pilfered by honeybees enwrapping those lotuses… with them this Pampa is beaming forth… "This Pampa is always bedecked with the ruddy geese, amazing deep areas of the forest, and with water thirsty herds of Elephants and deer, and with them it gleams forth.
vrm.4.3	Elephants’ trunks are your arms.
vrm.4.11	One" named Dundubhi was there in the form of a Buffalo, whose size shone forth like Mountain Kailasa and who bears the strength of a thousand Elephants.
vrm.4.11	"Fathoming that ocean to be scared of him that noted Rakshasa Dundubhi arrived at the forests of Himavan like an arrow darted from bow, and that Dundubhi started to blare discordantly and toss the rock faces of that mountain that are like white Elephants in their figuration, severally.
vrm.4.13	They have also seen the forest Elephants that have white tusks for their ornaments and that are moving in herds, and which are the dangerous enemies of lakes as they destroy lakebeds.
vrm.4.28	"With electric charges as their fluttering flags, and cranes engirdling them, and in design well gleaming like the pinnacles of lofty mountains, these clouds are thundering in a very high pitched voice, like lofty vigorous Elephants standing up to a fight.
vrm.4.28	"Surging are the rivers, showering are the clouds, shrilling are the rutty Elephants, and shining are the forest interiors, and reminiscing are the lover less, rocking are the peacocks, resolving are the Vanaras to stay a place.
vrm.4.28	"Verily joyous are the Elephants on whiffing the aroma of Ketaka flowers and thus they are rutted, and baffled are they by the sounds of streamlets that are falling well in the forest brooks from the mountain rapids, and those best ruttish Elephants are blaring along with screaming peacocks to the tune of waterfalls.
vrm.4.28	"Well ornate with the flags of lightning, spewing forth great and profound rumbles, those clouds by their shapes are verily shining like the enthusiastic warring Elephants.
vrm.4.28	somewhere else, they are ruttish, virtually, for choicest Elephants are there.
vrm.4.28	"Well screaming are the peahens voluptuously, overspread are these pasturelands with red beetles, also fragranced are they with Neepa and Arjuna flowers, and the Elephants are moving about these verily pleasant interiors of the forests.
vrm.4.28	"In forests moving about are the select Elephants that are rutting, the ideal bulls that are delighting, the peerless Lions that are striding, lofty are the pleasant mountains that are standing, the choicest kings are withdrawing from their campaigns, and the noblest of Gods, Indra, is playing with the clouds.
vrm.4.30	"On blackening ten quarters of earth blue black clouds that looked like petals of blue lotuses are now quietened in their nimbleness like rut less Elephants.
vrm.4.30	"The rales of clouds, Elephants, peacocks, and oh, merited Lakshmana, of the freshets too, are suddenly quietened.
vrm.4.30	"Presently autumn has shown itself dividing its charm on the branches of seven leaved banana plants, on the stars, sun and moon, and also on those best Elephants that are rollicking.
vrm.4.30	"The breeze is wafting the fragrance of flowers of seven leaved banana plants, and the swarms of honeybees that are singing in accompaniment to the rustle of breeze are tagging along that breeze for its fragrance, and because that breeze is breezing unceasingly, that alone is fetching the pride of rut for the already rutted Elephants, and thus this autumnal season is highly glistening.
vrm.4.30	"Divided variously the autumnal glory is shining forth among the overbearingly ruttish Elephants that are trumpeting, among the herds of haughty bulls bellowing, and among the limpid waters that are murmuringly slopping down.
vrm.4.30	"On scenting the fragrance of the seven leaved banana plants, the ruttish lather of those best Elephants that have a fond for forests and lotus lakes has started to flow on their temples, thus they are indulgent in rut and their strides are slackening while they are moving along with their beloved female Elephants.
vrm.4.30	"While a ruttish male Elephant is going in the forest the slow paced she Elephant is tagging along her male along with other Elephants of her breed, and with an intensified attachment and passion she is bumping and rubbing her husband.
vrm.4.30	"With their blaring trumpeting lordly Elephants with slit temples are alarming Karandava and Cakravaka Birds abiding in lakes that are embellished with blooming lotuses, and those Elephants are drinking water after swishing and swashing the tranquillity of those lakes.
