समाः शतं मेरुमृगोऽहमासं सुवर्णवर्णस्तरुपर्णकर्णः ।
दूर्वाङ्कुरास्वादनगीतिनिष्ठ अहन्कनिष्ठो वनवासिमध्ये ॥ ३५ ॥

samāḥ śataṃ merumṛgo'hamāsaṃ suvarṇavarṇastaruparṇakarṇaḥ |
dūrvāṅkurāsvādanagītiniṣṭha ahankaniṣṭho vanavāsimadhye || 35 ||

I had been a mountain stag for a hundred years, with my skin of golden hue, and my ears as flat as leaves of trees; I fed on blades of grass, was charmed with all kinds of music, and being the weakest of all animals of the forest, I could do no injury to any one.
