(I)--the legend of विष्णु freeing the ele- phant in trouble. While wandering in the hills, this lord of elephants felt thirsty and entered a lake in the त्रिकूट hill. While drinking water, a crocodile caught hold of its feet. Finding himself on the brink of death, Gajendra bestowed his thought on Hari on account of the वासन of the previous birth. Pleased with his prayer, Hari flew on गरुड with his cakra and released the animal from the crocodile. The elephant attained a form like that of Hari. This elephant was in his previous birth a पाण्ड्यन् king by name Indradyumna devoted to Hari but cursed by Agastya to be born as elephant. फलकम्:F1:  भा.
