## Adipurana
The herd of elephants was devouring the buds of the creepers with their flowers, the small plants, the succulent **kadangara** trees, and the sweet and tender branches of the forest trees. (156)
They were digging up the tender shoots of grass in the groves, breaking the ridges of the fields with their teeth, and playfully indulging in eating the tips of the creepers and plucking the fruits. (157)
"Go to the dense forest with its tall branches, where the young creepers with leaves are growing. Sit in the grove and go near the **sallaki** forests, which are fit for eating." Thus, commanded by the mahouts, the herd of elephants was roaming in the forest. (158)
The herd of elephants, which was enjoying the forest in various ways, was free to move about, but the mahouts were restraining them and they were fit to be tied. Thus, the herd of elephants, along with their young ones, reached their suitable dwelling place. (159)
The horses, frightened by the elephants, have overturned this chariot on the wrong path, its axle and wheel have broken, and these she-mules, eager to carry the courtesans, are fleeing very quickly, leaving their path. (160)
This elephant, frightened by the sight of the camel, is running away, revealing its fear. And this woman, whose garment has slipped from her breasts and thighs, is falling from the frightened mule. (161)
Thus, the words of ordinary men speaking loudly, the sounds of donkeys, camels, and bulls, agitated by the commotion, and the harsh words of the soldiers calling to each other, caused a moment of confusion among the kings' armies. (162)
