Verse 48.7
सो गर्जति सुमधुरं कपिलाह्वयातो निर्धावते हृदयदृष्टिपथं हरन्तः ।
न च कश्चि तं प्रसहते अभिगर्जमानं प्रतिगर्जितुं कुमुदराशिनिभं सुजातं ॥ ७ ॥
so garjati sumadhuraṃ kapilāhvayāto nirdhāvate hṛdayadṛṣṭipathaṃ harantaḥ |
na ca kaści taṃ prasahate abhigarjamānaṃ pratigarjituṃ kumudarāśinibhaṃ sujātaṃ || 7 ||
“The bull bellowed most sweetly, and ran out of Kapilavastu, taking the path his heart was bent on. There is none that can beat his bellowing when he bellows—the noble bull that is like a heap of flowers.” (7)
