तेन खगपथेगामिं गजवररतनं + + + लभति ॥ ३८ ॥
durgeṣu ca viṣameṣu ca saṃkramam arisūdano pratiṣṭhapiya |
tena khagapathegāmiṃ gajavararatanaṃ + + + labhati || 38 ||
He destroys his foes, and thus makes safe the way in dangerous places. Thus does he win the fair treasure of the elephant that moves with the speed of a bird. (38)
