Meaning : Having held one weapon only in the form of knowledge of Brahma and killing the whole army of infatuation, a monk has no fear as if he were the lordly elephant standing on the front of the Battle. (4) [132 ]
Notes : It is popularly believed that an is the laşt deadly weapon in the whole armoury of weaponry and missiles. There is nothing which it cannot destroy. A lordly elephant bearing the brunt of the battle successfully kills the whole army. So also the monk finishes off the whole army of passions, more so the Ipfatuation. (4) [132 ]

Meaning : The snakes in the form of fear do not entwine the sandal wood in the form of (pure) joy, if the female pea-cock in the form of approach of knowledge moves about in the forest of mind. (5) [133]
