  3. wanting in energy and prowess, and thought within himself, 'Taking fast hold of the tail, will I send this monkey destitute of
  4. energy and prowess, to the region of Yama.' Thereat, with a smile he slightingly took hold of the tail

  8. wrinkles and his body was covered with sweat; and yet he could not raise it. And when after having
  9. striven, the illustrious Bhima failed in raising the tail, he approached the side of the monkey, and stood
  10. with a bashful countenance.
