Añjanavasabha

Person

L’éléphant d’État du roi Dhanañjaya des Kurus, réputé capable d’attirer la pluie, qui échoua pourtant à mettre fin à une sécheresse lorsque les brahmanes de Dantapura l’empruntèrent.

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.
