**Verse 156:** The herd of elephants was eating the flower-laden tips of the creepers, the small plants, the succulent Kadangari trees, and the sweet and tender branches of the forest trees.
**Verse 157:** The playful herd of young elephants, grazing on the tender shoots of grass in the groves, were gently breaking the thorny bushes with their tusks, and were constantly playing, being adept at eating the tips of the creepers and plucking the fruits.
**Verse 158:** The herd of elephants, following the orders of the mahouts, were roaming in the forest, eating the leaves of the young creepers, sitting in the dense forest with its tall branches, and going near the Sallaki forests suitable for eating.
**Verse 159:** The herd of elephants, having enjoyed the forest in various ways, was going to its own place of residence, being restrained by the mahouts from going further, and being fit to be tied.
**Verse 160:** The horses, frightened by the elephants, have overturned this chariot on the wrong path, its axle and wheel are broken, and these she-mules, eager to carry the courtesans, are fleeing very fast, leaving their path.
**Verse 161:** This elephant, frightened by the sight of the camel, is running away, revealing its cowardice, and this woman, whose clothes have slipped from her breasts and thighs, is falling from the frightened mule.
**Verse 162:** The loud voices of the common people, the sounds of the agitated donkeys, camels, and bulls, and the harsh words of the soldiers calling to each other, all created a commotion among the kings for a moment.
