The cow – elephant and other chicken hearted ones seeing their leader in distress, just pulled forcibly, trumpeted in sorrow, unable to extricate him by pulling him holding from the rear.
The Elephant and the Crocodile There, Oh king! as ill luck would have it, a powerful crocodile fiercely caught his leg, and the elephant, accidentally so caught unaware, himself of immense strength, accordingly tugged his best. Plunging into it, he drank to his heart’s content the immaculate, sweet ambrosial water, flavoured by the pollen of the golden lotuses, lilies, sucking it with his trunk and freely showering on himself, and with his fatigue gone, equally offering mouthfuls andĪ liberal sprinkle of bath to his retinue of cubs and female elephants like a loving householder, unaware in his self importance of impending peril (25-26). Oppressed by the heat of summer, dripping ichor and swarmed by bees settled on it for its sheer taste, tormented by thirst, accompanied by the whole herd of bull and female elephants and the young ones, almost causing tremors in the mountain by their weight, he smelt from afar the lotus pollen-filled breeze on the lake, and with eyes tremulous in a state of rut, speedily approached the vicinity of the lake. By the mere odour of animal, even lions and tigers not to talk of the elephants, hyenas, rhinos, pythons, sarabhas, yaks, wolves, boars, bisons, bears, porcupines, baboons, jackals, monkeys, all ran away in fear, while the weaker ones like the deer and the hares moved about joyously by the protective presence of that very animal. Once a lordly elephant, leader of a herd, inhabiting that mountainous forest, roamed with his retinue of female ones, breaking through trees, bamboo clusters and clumps of cane. In a valley of Trikuta there is a nice garden named Rtumat, which was constructed by Varuna, and in that area there is a very nice lake. In the midst of the ocean of milk, there is a very high and beautiful mountain that has an altitude of ten thousand yojanas, or eighty thousand miles. Lord Vishnu came down to earth to protect Gajendra(elephant) from the death clutches of Makara (Crocodile). Gajendra moksha (Sanskrit: गजज नददरममकक) is Puranic legend from Bhagavata Purana. While Garuda’s eyes smoulder with rage at the stubbornness of the crocodile, Vishnu’s countenance is filled with mercy and compassion as he puts an end to the suffering of Gajendra, by killing his crocodile attacker.
In the mural, Garuda’s wings are fanned out in flight as he carries the Lord with great devotion. The famous Gajendra Moksha mural in Krishnapuram, which measures fourteen feet by eleven feet, memorializes the pastimes of Visnu and Gajendra. The palace was constructed during the reign of King Marthanda Varma. This beautifull mural is one of the largest mural panels in Kerala. In a small palace located near the old Krishna temple.
