If the she-elephant delivers or gets mad in the country, i.e. not in the forest, it spells ruin to king. Ruin to the King will be the result if the elephant objects to his mounting it or runs back home or if the mad elephant is found without madness. It is an auspicious omen if the elephant places its right foot on the left foot of it and also if it holds its tusk with its trunk. - [Previous: c9.822](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.822) - [Next: c9.824](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.824) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.823](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.823) · Pramāṇa
