v2.c29.56
Baddheraka.—An elephant of the king of Kosala. He was once very strong, but as he grew old he became weak and, one day, stuck fast in the mire. The elephant-trainer, by the king’s orders, went to the elephant arrayed as for battle and caused the battle-drum to be beaten. The elephant’s pride was roused and he rose from the mire.¹ v.l. Pā-veyyaka.
