अहंकारमहाविन्ध्ये मनोमत्तमहागजः ।
विस्फूर्जति घनास्फोटैः स्तनितैरिव वारिदः ॥ १४ ॥

ahaṃkāramahāvindhye manomattamahāgajaḥ |
visphūrjati ghanāsphoṭaiḥ stanitairiva vāridaḥ || 14 ||

The mind vaunts with egoism, like a furious elephant in the Vindhyan hills, when it hears the thunder-claps in the clouds.
