രാജാവേ, മഹാവേഗിയും ഭയരഹിതനുമായ ‘ശരഭ’ എന്ന യൂഥപൻ സദാ മനോഹരമായ സാൽവേയ പർവ്വതത്തിൽ വസിക്കുന്നു.
"Oh! king of Rakshasas! He who has made his ears stiff, yawning again and again, who is not afraid of death, who will not go back from war, who is looking obliquely and seeing his tail reacting in anger violently and roaring like a lion is a very strong leader called Sarabha. He is a very fast one, a leader of troops, ever in delight. He lives in Salveya mountain."
