Verse 59.14

योऽसौ गजस्कन्धगतो महात्मा नवोदितार्कोपमताम्रवक्त्रः। संकम्पयनागशिरोऽभ्युपैति हाकम्पनं त्वेनमवेहि राजन् ॥

English Meaning

O king, him do you know to be Akampana, who, possessed of a high soul, is on the back of that elephant, whose face looks like the sun new risen, and who approach making the head of his elephant tremble (with the splendour of his person).* *This meaning is the commentator's.
