Añjanavasabha

Person

Государственный слон царя куру Дхананьджаи, которому приписывали способность вызывать дождь, но который не смог прекратить засуху, когда его одолжили брахманы Дантапуры.

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.
