The Long Āgama Sūtra 30.33

30.33

「時，象王從八千象前後導從，至善住樹王所，中有持葢覆象王者，有執寶扇扇象王者，中有作倡伎樂在前導者。時，善住象王詣樹王已，坐臥行步隨意所遊，餘八千象各自在樹下，坐臥行步隨意所遊。其樹林中有圍八尋者，有圍九尋至十尋、十五尋者，唯善住象王婆羅樹王圍十六尋，其八千婆羅樹枝葉墮落時，清風遠吹置於林外，又八千象大小便時，諸夜叉鬼除之林外。」

“The elephant king then leads the other 8,000 elephants to the tree king Susaṃsthita. Some among them carry parasols for the elephant king. Some bear precious fans to fan the elephant king, and some among them dance and play music in front of the others.

“When the elephant king Susaṃsthita reaches the tree king, he sits, lies down, or walks around as he likes. The other 8,000 elephants each are free to sit, lie down, and walk around as they like.

“In that tree’s forest, there’s a circle [of trees] eight fathoms in size, a circle nine fathoms in size … ten fathoms … fifteen fathoms in size. Only the elephant king Susaṃsthita was within a circle sixteen fathoms in size around the sal tree king. When those other 8,000 sal trees drop their limbs and leaves, a cool breeze blows through the forest from outside. Also, when the other 8,000 elephants defecate and urinate, yakṣas remove it from the forest.”
