Summary[edit]
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 a lotus flower. It is the mount of Indra, and the Gaja ( Sanskrit word for elephant) or 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. |
