कालञ्जरे मञ्जरिते करञ्जगुञ्जावने जम्बुकतां गतोऽहम् ।
गजेन पिष्टे हरिणा हतोऽसौ हस्ती मयात्रार्थमृतेन दृष्टः ॥ ४० ॥

kālañjare mañjarite karañjaguñjāvane jambukatāṃ gato'ham |
gajena piṣṭe hariṇā hato'sau hastī mayātrārthamṛtena dṛṣṭaḥ || 40 ||

I was once born as a jackal, in the woods of Kalenjara mountains, and roved about the blossoming gunja and karanja forests; here I was trodden down by an elephant, and was about to expire, when I beheld that elephant to be killed by a lion in his turn.
