जानहिं दिग्गज उर कठिनाई। जब जब भिरउँ जाइ बरिआई॥ जिन्ह के दसन कराल न फूटे। उर लागत मूलक इव टूटे॥ ३ ॥

jānahiṃ diggaja ura kaṭhināī। jaba jaba bhirauṃ jāi bariāī॥ jinha ke dasana karāla na phūṭe। ura lāgata mūlaka iva tūṭe॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

The elephants of the directions know the hardness of my chest. Their terrible tusks, whenever I have forced a clash with them, have never pierced my chest or left even a mark; instead, the moment they struck my chest, they broke like radishes.
