He rode on some of these wild beasts; he seized some of them and sometimes he pursued some of them in playful mood. The dwellers of the hermitage of Kanva, (finding all this), gave him a name. (They said,) “As he subjugated all beasts, let him be called Sarvadamana". Thus the prince came to be called Sarvadamana, endued as he was with great strength, energy and powers.
आरोहन् दमयंश्चैव क्रीडंश्च परिधावति। ततोऽस्य नाम चक्रुस्ते कण्वाश्रमनिवासिनः॥ अस्त्वयं सर्वदमनः सर्वं हि दमयत्यसौ। स सर्वदमनो नाम कुमारः समपद्यत॥ विक्रमेणौजसा चैव बलेन च समन्वितः।
