Vasiṣṭha said:: In some places, the slopes of rocky ridges had been scraped and dug up by the hoofs of the Gavayas (A species of wild ox) as they were chased by the elephants attracted by the resemblance of their own young ones. [The idea seems to be this—the Gavayas were mistaken to be the young cubs of elephants by their mother elephants. Hence, they pursued the Gavayas.]
