GAJA (KUNCHARA) When the Gaja (elephant) took refuge in the Merciful Lord, he was released from the clutches of the crocodile. (Sorath M. 9, p. 632) The king of elephants meditated on Thee, O Lord! and he was liberated. (Basant M. 5, p. 1192) Ajamala, Pingala, Lubhata and Kunchara (Gaja) went to the Abode of the Lord. (Kedara Ravidas, p. 1124) According to Bhagavata Purana, a Gandharva, who had become an elephant on account of the curse of a sage, was entangled by an octopus in its tentacles. He meditated on the Lord for his help and was saved.
