The Viṣṇudharmottara (II. 50. 1-93) is far more elaborate than even the Agnipurāṇa. Its verses about the words to be muttered in the ear of the elephant (II. 50. 59-64) are the same as those in the Agni (291. 15-20). The Viṣṇudharmottara adds (II. 50. 68-70) that this śānti should not be performed on the 4th, 9th or 14th tithi nor on Tuesday nor on Saturday and the commended nakṣatras are Jyeṣṭhā, Citrā and Śravaṇa and that this śānti rite for elephants destroys all danger to elephants.
