At such a sweet hour, I intent upon taking exercise, taking my bow and arrows and mounted on my car, sallied out for the river Sarayū, with the intention that I with my senses under control, should in the watery expense slay any buffalo, elephant, or any other beast that mighty have come there in the night.
तस्मिन्नतिसुखे काले धनुष्मानिषुमान् रथी। व्यायामकृतसंकल्पः सरयूमन्वगां नदीम्॥ निपाने महिषं रात्रौ गजं वाभ्यागतं मृगम्। अन्यद्वाश्वापदं किंचिज्जिघांसुरजितेन्द्रियः॥
