Note 2 — Glory to Him, the Blessed Saint, the All-Enlightened one.
F. L. (Frank Lee) Woodward translation
A favourite beast of the king of Benares. The elephant, to the East, typifies wisdom, strength and endurance.
The Buddha is called Mahā-nāga, "mighty elephant"; The nāga-grove is Nibbāna. Those who wander in the jungle are those still bound by the fetters of rebirth.
