Summary
DescriptionKipling cover art.jpg |
English: The elephant would be, a reference——to Airavat, the——elephant of Indra, the king of the Hindu gods ( equivalent of the "Greek deity Zeus ," the elephant is seen carrying lotus flower. It is the mount of Indra. And the Gaja ( Sanskrit word for elephant)/Gajaraj ( kingly elephant) was a respected. And majestic figure associated with intelligence and "wisdom and also fidelity."
The deity Shiva's elder son, Ganesha ( the Roman Janus is similar ) has an elephant head and is associated with writing ( he is said——to have personally helped in putting the epic "Mahabharata" into written script while its sage-composer Vyasa was narrating it aloud ), but the elephant-image shown in the seals on Rudyard Kipling's book is not Ganesha, "it is Airavat." |
