The earth was filled with the weight of the armies, their life-giving breath had flown, and they seemed to have become devoid of breath, as if they had died under the burden of the armies. ||21|| Hearing the unprecedented, wondrous, and powerful roar of the army, the animals dwelling in the forest were greatly terrified and distressed. ||22|| A white elephant, whose body was like that of an Airavata elephant, whose limbs were perfectly proportioned, and who roared sweetly, emerged from the forest, adorned with great splendor, due to the commotion of the army. ||23|| As if a lion, awakening, yawned and opened its mouth, showing its teeth, saying, "I fear nothing, see whatever you wish." ||24|| The Amapad, with great speed, leaped upwards, facing the sky, and fell down, but the Creator (Name-Karma), with cleverness, had made it stand firmly on its feet, with its back straight, so that it was unharmed. ||25|| The soldiers saw a fearless buffalo, whose shoulders were rubbed with stones, whose eyes were slightly reddened with anger, and who was digging the earth with its hooves. ||26|| Small animals, whose fear was aroused by the sound of the army, were taking refuge in the caves of the Vijayardha mountain, like in the time of the apocalypse. ||27|| The frightened deer, with their young following them, were running in all directions, their bodies trembling, as if they were drenched in the juice of fear. ||28|| The pigs, whose herds had scattered due to the commotion of the army, had abandoned their favorite food and were running around, having left their water-filled ponds. ||29|| Many other elephants, fleeing in fear, had hidden themselves in places covered with trees, and the deer were entering the caves of the lions. ||30||
