## The Eighty-Fourth Chapter
**The Mystery of the Elephant**
**30.** This profound and wondrous secret, difficult to comprehend, resides in the elephant's mind. We do not know what it is.
**31.** This elephant cannot be satisfied, nor does it ever desire anything. It does not even experience anger, just like a painted image.
**32.** O Lord! This elephant, with its wondrous prowess, is the root cause of this entire kingdom. O Lord! This elephant, an ornament of the three worlds, is like a Karati (a type of elephant).
**33.** O Lord! Having understood this, you are the authority on this matter. We, with our limited intellect, can only make requests.
**34.** Hearing the elephant's previous actions, which were vastly different from its current behavior, Rama, Lakshmana, and the king were deeply troubled for a moment.
**35.** "Why did this elephant escape from its confinement? Why did it attain peace? And why does it not accept food?" Thus, the sun, in the form of Rama, rose with many doubts.
**8.** Thus ends the eighty-fourth chapter of the Padma Purana, known as the "Aarya" (authored by the sage Ravi), which describes the peace of the elephant, an ornament of the three worlds.
