________________ Lilarai-Kahā of Koühala 107 due to profuse sweat caused by their being driven with great speed (or effort). 1126. Thirsty with the touch of breeze blowing due to the heav ing of their trunks, the intoxicated elephants ate up the tufts of fresh leaves held in their trunks) for long. 1127. Profusely perspiring during their uneasy turning in beds, the masters somehow got comforted as they were fanned (by their servants) (lit, as they were touched by the breeze of the fans). 1128. With their forehead-marks made uneven and partly wiped out by the perspiration caused by the fatigue of journey, the faces of women, with their eyes half-closed looked beaatiful. 1129. In the meanwhile the huntsmen (came and) told the king Sālavāhāna, “Your Majesty! this forest, full of wild beasts has been blocked (by us on all sides) (i.e. surrounded so as to prevent the beasts escaping). 1130. The eastern side which is close to the mountain-ridge and where different kinds of tall trees have grown thickly, is blocked by hundreds of elephants. 1131. The other, northern direction, overgrown with bamboos and intermingling branches (of trees) near the bank of the mountain-streams, is blocked by archers. 1132. In the west, where it is easy to move, has been placed an: excellent army of horsemen and in the south is kept a terrible pack of hounds. 1133. When this was reported, the king went to that place (and). the huntsmen (started a beat and) aroused wild animals. 1134. And then, seeing the wild beasts agitated by the wretched' noise of hunting expedition (or, frightened by the wild beasts agitated by the sound of neighing of horses, acc. to Dr. Upadhye), a doe, fearing the death of her mate fell dead even without being hit.
