Añjanavasabha

Person

拘樓族(Kuru)王 Dhanañjaya 的御用大象,據信能招雨,然當 Dantapura 婆羅門借去應對旱災時卻未能奏效。

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.
