An ass, donkey, mule; • A Daitya or demon in general; • a demon,

**AS. The adjective madasvinnakapolasya applies to the elephant not the
camel!
"way the way" is a typo. gati probably refers to speed not way! I would
translate:
A horse's speed is different from (better than) that of an ass or a camel;
while the speed of an elephant in heat something else!!

elephants, asses, or camels, but our course is quite different from any of

One goes way the way of the horse, and another the way of the ass and
camel,—with its drunken sweaty cheeks,—and another also goes the way of the
elephant. -4-

and worth further discussion and analysis: dagdhadArA(H) refers to the
fallen soldiers - one who lost everything! They are lying snow cold mixed
in with the bodies of the elephants (deheSu dantinAm). They are like the
vijJAnasUktaya: ( the principles of vijJAna ) in the minds of great
persons. As one should recall vijJAna is the knowledge concerning the
material world, it helps one to get over the world, but does not help one
reach the ultimate goal, that only comes with jJAna! Thus in the minds of
the great enlightened souls, the old good thoughts from vijJAna lie dead -
no longer functional or useful in the light of the ultimate jJAna. In this
analogy, the dead elephants might represent the remnants on the material
world itself!
