In the end they decided to let the chief royal elephant loose outside the city, and he who should return mounted on it would be made king. After three days the elephant appeared in front of the royal palace with a boy upon his back. The lad was the son of a shepherd; but he was accepted as king. - [Previous: 263.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.263.2.4) - [Next: 263.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.263.2.6) - [Up: 263.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.263.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.263.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.263.2.5) · Pramāṇa
