यं तुषितभवने सन्तो हिमशिखरनिभो गजो भवित्वान ।
अन्तिमम् उपेसि गर्भं दशशतरस्मिसगोत्र तं प्रियं मे ॥ २ ॥
yaṃ tuṣitabhavane santo himaśikharanibho gajo bhavitvāna |
antimam upesi garbhaṃ daśaśatarasmisagotra taṃ priyaṃ me || 2 ||
Glad am I, O kinsman of the sun, that when thou wast in Tushita thou didst become an elephant, snow-white like Hima’s summit, and didst enter a womb for the last time. (2)
