Verse 33

³⁰When the elephant king had praised in this way one in whom no distinctions are, Brahma and the rest, who each take themselves for a mark set apart, did not come near; and there Hari, who is all the immortals at once, showed himself, being the self of everything. ³¹Finding him in such distress and hearing his praise, the dwelling place of the world, borne by Garuda who is made of the metres, with the sky-born praising him as they came, went quickly with his discus to where the elephant king was. ³²Held in the pond by that great strength, and in pain, he saw Hari in the sky on Garuda with the discus taken up; and lifting his trunk with the lotus in it, he got out these words with difficulty: Narayana, teacher of all, Bhagavan, salutation to you.

³³Seeing him hard pressed, the unborn came down at once and out of pity drew him quickly from the pond, the crocodile and all; and tearing the crocodile's mouth apart with his discus, Hari set the elephant king free while the high ones looked on.
