Laangilachaalanamadhascharanaavaghaatham Bhoomou nipathyavadano daradarsanam cha, Swaa pindadasya kuruthe gajapungavasthu Dheeram vilokayathi chaatusathaischa bhunkthe//23// Here,the poet is telling us the difference between behaviour of a common man and a great man.dog wails its tail before a man who give it food.it scratches the earth with its foot nails. It falls on the ground on its back and shows its mouth and stomach and riggles.a dog does all these things to its master. In the case of an elephant ,we observe that it stands up right and looks at its master with confidence oozing fromevery pore of its body.its master handles it with care and affection. He gives it food,telling nice words. We can easily note the difference between the behaviours of both these animals. While common dog pleads and stoops down for its food and shows its gratefulness towards its master,regal and elegant elephant is treated with due respect and affection by its master. An elephant never stoops down for its food.
