Shloka 107
वामे स्कन्धे तु वामोरूर्भततुर्बाहुं निवेश्य च । दक्षिणेन परिष्वज्य जगाम गजगामिनी,कमनीय ऊरुओंसे सुशोभित तथा हाथीके समान मन्द गतिसे चलनेवाली सावित्रीने पतिकी दाहिनी भुजाको अपने बायें कंधेपर रखकर दाहिने हाथसे उन्हें अपने पार्श्वभागमें सटा लिया और धीरे-धीर चलने लगी
vāme skandhe tu vāmorūr bhartur bāhuṁ niveśya ca | dakṣiṇena pariṣvajya jagāma gajagāminī ||
マールカンデーヤは語った。サーヴィトリーは、象のように落ち着き揺るがぬ歩みで、夫の腕を左肩に載せ、右腕で身に引き寄せて抱き、やさしくも確かな力で支えながら進んだ。

Sāvitrī physically supports her weakened husband by placing his arm on her left shoulder and holding him close with her right arm, then proceeds slowly and steadily—described with the dignified ‘elephant-like’ gait.
