Na ิl ฺa ิgirimí gajavaramí atimattabhu ิtamí,<br />

Da ิvaggicakka masani ิva suda ิrun ฺantamí,<br />

Mettambusekavidhina ิ jitava ิ Munindo,<br />

Tamí tejasa ิ bhavatu te jayamanígala ิni.<br />

Provoked to run amok, Na ิla ิgiri ิ, <strong>the</strong><br />

king tusker, like a raging forest fire<br />

murderously assailed all in his path,<br />

and struck such horror in <strong>the</strong>m as<br />

would Indra's thunder bolt, <strong>the</strong><br />

irresistible destroyer. Him <strong>the</strong><br />

sovereign Sage tamed by sprinkling<br />

over him <strong>the</strong> cooling water <strong>of</strong> allembracing<br />

love.<br />

By his mighty triumph may joyous<br />

victory be yours !<br />
