English Meaning
And with Bhadra, Mandra, and Mrga* elephants; and those sprung from the mixture of the three, and from the mixture of Bhadra and Mandra, and froin Bhadra and Mrga, and from Mrga and Mandra, superior like to Airāvata, and coming from Mahapaama, Anjana, and Vamana breeds, fierce, and looking like hills. And that city was over two Yojanas; and truly it was called Ayodhya. (incapable of being conquered.) *(Those elephants whose limbs are contracted are bhadras; those whose bodies are fat, slack, and contracted are Mandras: and those whose bodies are lean and large are Mrgas.)
