स्वपुष्करेणोद्धृतशीकराम्बुभिर्निपाययन् संस्नपयन् यथा गृही । घृणी करेणुः कलभांश्च दुर्मदो नाचष्ट कृच्छ्रं कृपणोऽजमायया ।। ८-२-२६ ।।

sanskrit

Like a human being who lacks spiritual knowledge and is too attached to the members of his family, the elephant, being illusioned by the external energy of Kṛṣṇa, had his wives and children bathe and drink the water. Indeed, he raised water from the lake with his trunk and sprayed it over them. He did not mind the hard labor involved in this endeavor. ।। 8-2-26 ।।
