"One day Nalagiri pulled up his post, knocked down two elephant-drivers and roaming as he liked terrified the townspeople. 'How is that elephant, which is controlled by no one, to be subdued?' The king asked Abhaya who suggested, 'Have king Udayana sing,'. Commanded by the king, 'Sing to Nalagiri', Udayana and Vāsavadattā sang to him. As a result of hearing his song, the elephant Nalagiri was thrown and made captive. Then the king gave Abhaya another boon which he kept in reserve also.”
