Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 9
Sanskrit:
स पर्यावर्तमानेन सव्यदक्षिणतोऽच्युत: । बभ्राम भ्राम्यमाणेन गोवत्सेनेव बालक: ॥ ९ ॥
ITRANS:
sa paryāvartamānenasavya-dakṣiṇato ’cyutaḥbabhrāma bhrāmyamāṇenago-vatseneva bālakaḥ
Translation:
As Lord Acyuta held on to the elephant’s tail, the animal tried to twist away to the left and to the right, making the Lord swerve in the opposite direction, as a young boy would swerve when pulling a calf by the tail.
