The state elephant of Dhanañjaya, König of the Kurus.
It was credited mit the power of bringing rain; the Brahmanen of Dantapura in Kalinga, therefore, begged for it during a severe drought.
But the elephant was of no avail, the rain did not come, und so it was returned to Dhanañjaya. J.ii.368f.; DhA.iv.88f.
