Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 8 - Chapter 1 - Verse 26


Sanskrit:

स पुष्करेणोद्‌धृतशीकराम्बुभि-र्निपाययन्संस्‍नपयन्यथा गृही ।घृणी करेणु: करभांश्च दुर्मदोनाचष्ट कृच्छ्रं कृपणोऽजमायया ॥ २६ ॥

ITRANS:

sa puṣkareṇoddhṛta-śīkarāmbubhirnipāyayan saṁsnapayan yathā gṛhīghṛṇī kareṇuḥ karabhāṁś ca durmadonācaṣṭa kṛcchraṁ kṛpaṇo ’ja-māyayā

Translation:

Like a human being who lacks spiritual knowledge and is too attached to the members of his family, the elephant, being illusioned by the external energy of Kṛṣṇa, had his wives and children bathe and drink the water. Indeed, he raised water from the lake with his trunk and sprayed it over them. He did not mind the hard labor involved in this endeavor.
