Person

拘楼族(Kuru)王 Dhanañjaya 的御用大象,据信能招雨,然当 Dantapura 婆罗门借去应对旱灾时却未能奏效。

The state elephant of Dhanañjaya, king of the Kurus.

It was credited with the power of bringing rain; the brahmins of Dantapura in Kaliṅga, therefore, begged for it during a severe drought.

However, the elephant was of no avail, the rain did not come, and so it was returned to Dhanañjaya. J.ii.368 f; DhA.iv.88 f.
