Then again Jambha, a tiger among Dānavas, charged at Nandin upon a roaring, four-tusked lord of elephants resembling Mount Añjana and endowed with the luster of an Añjana elephant, / adorned with quivers and flags, excited by the goad. / Mounted upon the elephant's shoulder, with a lance in hand, the Daitya Jambha shone like a cloud accompanied by cranes perched upon the peak of a black mountain. / With its tail, eyes, and ears rigid, its great trunk extended, driven by the lord of the Dānavas, the great elephant charged. / Just as the speed of the wind at the end of an aeon is incomparable, so the speed of that running elephant was incomparable. / The horses, the elephants, the Pramathas, and the Dānavas moved out of its path like men fleeing from Death.
