Verse 31

³¹So when the lord of elephants had come to this strait for his life, a bearer of a body left helpless by chance, and could not free himself for all that long while, he thought, and then came to this understanding. ³²These kinsmen of mine, the elephants, cannot free me in my distress, and how should the cows? Held in the noose of the Ordainer through this crocodile, I go to him who is the highest goal. ³³Whoever the Lord is who guards the frightened one that comes to him from the strong serpent of the ender, rushing hard upon him with its terrible speed; from fear of whom death itself runs away: him, the shelter, we ask for.
