8. Who, seemed the king of elephants that bears Indra, ornament- 

 ed with trappings made of the beautiful skin of a spotted deer, covered 

 with hair, delicate, glossy, and naturally variegated, decorating a body 

 white like the slips of the stalk of a lotus. 



9. Who held a rosary of clear crystal beads, but seemingly half 

 filled with coral beads, in front being divided by the rays, emitted 

 from the nail of his thumb, reddened by the strings of his lute con- 

 tinually struck by him. 



10. Who looked again and again at his lute surnamed " the large/' 

 wherein the rising and descending melodies of various octaves be- 

 came distinct, by musical notes, which consist of different sets of 

 measured sonorous lengths, and which were separately sounded by 

 the impulse of the breeze. 



11. That Treasure of Knowledge, which is possessed by such as 

 have subdued their passions, dismissing the inhabitants of the sky, 

 who followed him with humble salutations, alighted at the house of 

 him who is armed with a discus, and has stript demons of their 

 conquests, an abode elegant like the palace of Indra. 



12. The devout saint, an image of the descending Sun, was not yet 

 standing before the immortal hero, when he hastily rose from his 

 lofty throne, like a thunder-cloud from a mountain.
