ततो गजेन्द्रस्य मनोबलौजसां कालेन दीर्घेण महानभूद्व्ययः । विकृष्यमाणस्य जलेऽवसीदतो विपर्ययोऽभूत्सकलं जलौकसः ।। ८-२-३० ।।

sanskrit

Thereafter, because of being pulled into the water and fighting for many long years, the elephant became diminished in his mental, physical and sensual strength. The crocodile, on the contrary, being an animal of the water, increased in enthusiasm, physical strength and sensual power. ।। 8-2-30 ।।

english translation

तत्पश्चात् जल के भीतर खींचे जाने तथा दीर्घकाल तक लड़ते रहने के कारण हाथी की मानसिक, शारीरिक तथा ऐन्द्रिय शक्ति घटने लगी। इसके विपरीत जल का पशु होने के कारण घडिय़ाल का उत्साह, उसकी शारीरिक शक्ति तथा ऐन्द्रिय शक्ति बढ़ती रही। ।। ८-२-३० ।।
