In terror they left the district. The Bodhisatta, being born among the elephants, took leave of his father, and went back into the lake with his friends. The Bodhisatta, being the last to leave the water, was caught by the crab's claws; hearing his cries of pain, all the other elephants ran away except his mate, whom he entreated not to leave him. - [Previous: v1.c12.66](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.66) - [Next: v1.c12.68](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.68) - [Up: v1.c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.67](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.67) · Pramāṇa
