7.31

prasthānaśramajanitāṃ vihāya nidrām āmukte gajapatinā sadānapaṅke
śayyānte kulamalināṃ kṣaṇaṃ vilīnaṃ saṃrambhacyutam iva śṛṅkhalaṃ cakāśe //

Forsaking sleep brought on by the fatigue of travel,
when the lord elephant smeared himself in muddy temporal rut,
a swarm of bees clinging for a moment to the edge of his bed
shone like a broken chain that had fallen in fury.
