“The true Lion-King emerges from his den early in the morning. It stretches his body and yawns. Look around, growls, and roars for eleven things. What are those eleven?
First, he wants to crush a person who, not being a lion, intends to present himself as a lion.
Second, he now wants to test his own physical strength.
Third, he wants to purify the place where he lives.
Fourth, he wants to know the places where all others are living.
Fifth, he does not fear anyone.
Sixth, he wants to wake up those who are asleep.
Seventh, he wants make all the indolent animals, non-indolent.
Eighth, he wants all the animals come and surrender [to him].
Ninth, he wants to subjugate the great gandhahastin.
Tenth, he wants to test all sons.
Eleventh, he wants adorn all those with whom he is related.
All birds and animals hear the lion's roar. Those of water hide themselves down in the depths, those on earth in grottoes and caves, those who fly fall to the ground, and all those great gandhahastins become frightened, and expel impurities. Oh, good men! A fox can pursue a lion for one hundred years, however, it can not roar. The situation is like that. The son of a lion, at the age of three full years, can truly roar like a Lion-King."
