प्रज्ञया नखरालूनमत्तवारणयूथपाः ।
जम्बुकैर्विजिताः सिंहाः सिंहैर्हरिणका इव ॥ ३१ ॥

jambukairvijitāḥ siṃhāḥ siṃhairhariṇakā iva || 31 ||

Wisdom nips with its sharp nails, the heads of the elephantine (gigantic) bonds of giddiness, with as much ease as the lion kills the deer, or as if it were destroying a strong lion by a weak jackal.
