In plain words
The girls cry: "In the wide, deep pool with screw-pine on its banks and cool water-lilies within, an elephant [Gajēndra] was caught in the grip of the crocodile that lived there and tormented; to end its grief he came as the Lord of the eternal attendants [nityasūris], riding Garuḍa, and with his discus [cutting down the crocodile] he took the service it offered him [the lotus held up in its trunk]: today is the end of us! He showed it grace: today is the end of us!"
