Añjanavasabha

Person

雨を降らせる力があると信じられていた、クル族のダナンジャヤ王の王室象。しかしダンタプラのバラモンたちが借り受けた際には干ばつを終わらせることができなかった。

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.
