Verse 6.91.2

योऽसौ विन्ध्यवने हस्ती सोऽस्मिन्भूमितले भवान् ।
यौ वैराग्यविवेकौ तौ द्वौ तस्य दशनौ सितौ ॥ २ ॥

yo'sau vindhyavane hastī so'sminbhūmitale bhavān |
yau vairāgyavivekau tau dvau tasya daśanau sitau || 2 ||

That elephant of the vindhyan range, is thy very self in this forest; and his two strong tusks are no other than the two virtues of reasoning and resignation, on which you lay your strength.
