थी और उसका सभी कोई आदर करता था। वह सार्थक शब्दार्थका जाननेवाला था, स्वयं मङ्गलरूप था, उसका स्वभाव भी मङ्गलरूप था, वह शुभ था, बिना योनिके उत्पन्न हुआ था, उसकी जाति उत्तम थी अथवा उसका जन्म सबसे उत्तम था, वह पराक्रम, तेज, बल, शूरता, शक्ति, संहनन और वेग इन सात प्रकारकी प्रतिष्ठाओसे सहित था। वह अपने कानोंके समीप बैठी हुई उन भ्रमरोंकी पंक्तियोंको धारण कर रहा था जो कि गण्डस्थलोंसे निकलते हुए मदरूपी जलके निर्झरनोंसे भीग गयी थी और ऐसी जान पड़ती थीं मानो मदकी दूसरी धाराएँ ही हों । इस प्रकार अनेक मुखोंसे व्याप्त हुआ वह गजराज ऐसा सुशोभित हो रहा था मानो भक्तिपूर्वक आये हुए संसारके समस्त हाथी ही उसकी सेवा कर रहे हों ॥३२-४१।। उस हाथीका तालु अशोकवृनके पल्लवके समान अतिशय लाल था। इसलिए वह ऐसा जान पड़ता था मानो लाल-लाल तालुकी छायाके बहानेसे खाये हुए पल्लवोंको अच्छे न लगनेके कारण वार-बार उगल ही रहा हो ॥४२॥ उस हाथीके कर्णरूपी तालोंको ताड़नासे मृदङ्गके समान गम्भीर शब्द हो रहा था और वहींपर जो भ्रमर बैठे हुए थे वे वीणाके समान शब्द कर रहे थे, उन दोनोंसे वह हाथी ऐसा जान पड़ता था मानो उसने बाजा बजाना ही प्रारम्भ किया हो ॥४३॥ वह हाथी, जिससे बड़ी लम्बी श्वास निकल रही है ऐसी शुण्ड तथा मदजलकी धाराको धारण कर रहा था और उन दोनोंसे ऐसा सुशोभित हो रहा था मानो निर्झरने और सर्पसे सहित किसी पर्वतकी ही शोभा धारण कर रहा हो॥४४॥ इसके , दाँतोंमें जो मृणाल लगे हुए थे उनसे वह ऐसा अच्छा जान पड़ता था मानो चन्द्रमाके टुकड़ोंके समान उज्ज्वल दाँतोंके अंकुरोंसे ही सुशोभित हो रहा हो ॥४५॥ वह शोभायमान हाथी एक सरोवर के समान मालूम होता था क्योंकि जिस प्रकार सरोवर पुष्कर अर्थात् कमलोंकी शोभा धारण करता है उसी प्रकार वह हाथी भी पुष्कर अर्थात् सूड़के अग्रभागकी शोभा धारण कर रहा था, अथवा वह हाथी एक ऊँचे कल्पवृक्षके समान जान पड़ता था क्योंकि जिस प्रकार कल्पवृक्ष दान अर्थात् अभिलषित वस्तुओंकी इच्छा करनेवाले मनुष्योंके द्वारा उपासित होता है उसी प्रकार वह हाथी भी दान अर्थात् मदजलके

Adipurana
He was a knower of the meaning of words, auspicious himself, his nature was auspicious, he was auspicious, born without a womb, his birth was excellent, he was endowed with seven types of strength: power, brilliance, force, courage, strength, consolidation, and speed. He was adorned with rows of bees that were drenched in the streams of intoxication flowing from his temples, and they seemed like another stream of intoxication. Thus, adorned with many mouths, the elephant king appeared as if all the elephants of the world, having come with devotion, were serving him. [32-41] The elephant's palate was extremely red, like the leaves of the Asoka tree. Therefore, he seemed as if he were constantly spitting out the leaves he had eaten, because they did not taste good under the pretext of the shade of his red palate. [42] The sound of the elephant's ear-shaped drums was as deep as that of a mridanga, and the bees that were sitting there were making a sound like a vina. With both of these, the elephant seemed as if he had just begun to play music. [43] The elephant, with his long trunk and the stream of intoxicating water, seemed to be adorned with the beauty of a mountain with a waterfall and a serpent. [44] With the lotus flowers stuck in his teeth, he looked beautiful, as if he were adorned with the sprouts of his bright teeth, like pieces of the moon. [45] The beautiful elephant seemed like a lake, because just as a lake is adorned with the beauty of lotuses, so too was he adorned with the beauty of his trunk, or the elephant seemed like a tall Kalpa tree, because just as a Kalpa tree is worshipped by men who desire gifts, so too was he worshipped by men who desired the gift of intoxicating water.
