On Thy command "You evil creature, get out of my way fast", that elephant, at the prompting of the mahout (who was cruel and was also irritated by Thy words), quickly caught hold of Thee. Releasing Thyself from its hold, as if it were child's play, As though in play Thou released Thyself and struck a blow on the elephant's bulging forehead which rivaled with the Gopikas' pot like breasts. Thou then hid between the elephant's legs for some time and then came out smiling sweetly.
