काष्ठयोधे निरालानं मग्ना जीर्णा मतङ्गजाः ।
लयमाजग्मुरायुद्धमिद्धेग्नाविन्धनं यथा ॥ ३९ ॥

kāṣṭhayodhe nirālānaṃ magnā jīrṇā mataṅgajāḥ |
layamājagmurāyuddhamiddhegnāvindhanaṃ yathā || 39 ||

The Matangajas (of Elephanta) fell under the hands of Kashthayodhas (of Katiawar), as old unchained elephants falling in the miry pit; and others that came to fight, fell as dry fuel into the blazing fire.
