## Adipurana
**Verse 122:** The newly captured elephant, though repeatedly urged, did not want to enter the water covered with lotus leaves, fearing the ocean.
**Verse 123:** The elephant, captured for a long time, was curiously looking at the forest with its fresh, edible leaves.
**Verse 124:** Many elephants did not drink water or eat grass at will, they were only remembering the pleasures arising from the enjoyment of the forest.
**Verse 125:** The elephant keepers were taking the elephants, whose trunks were raised high and whose sides were adorned with shining golden garlands, to the lakes. At that time, the elephants appeared like blue mountains with serpents or clouds with lightning.
**Verse 126:** The elephant keeper, with great difficulty, brought the elephant, who was enraged by the wind carrying the scent of the wild elephant's rut, near the water.
**Verse 127:** Suddenly, an enraged elephant shook its head sideways, not under the control of the goad, and was causing distress to the elephant keeper.
**Verse 128:** Just as a rutting elephant does not desire a female elephant whose body is filled with the scent of the wild elephant's rut, so too, a rutting elephant did not want to enter a lake whose water was filled with the scent of the wild elephant's play.
**Verse 129:** The war elephants did not drink the water that the forest elephants had drunk before, and which was therefore filled with the scent of rut. They only sniffed it with their trunks and threw it away.
**Verse 130:** The elephants who drank the lake water increased the volume of the lake water by shedding their rut. This is appropriate, because the noble ones do not desire to take anything from anyone for no reason.
**Verse 131:** Even though a rutting elephant was submerged in the middle of the lake with its trunk raised, it was clearly understood that he was there, as the bees were flying in the sky and making a buzzing sound.
**Verse 132:** A rutting elephant, whose roar competed with the clouds, was scratching the itch on his cheeks with the strong spray of water from his trunk.
