About this item
At last Gajendra saw that he was helpless, and he prayed to the Lord for release. Understanding the elephant's awkward condition, and moved by his heartfelt prayers, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Narayana, appeared before Gajendra accompanied by the demigods, who were also offering prayers to Him. Gajendra had been forcefully captured by the crocodile in the water and was feeling acute pain, but when he saw that Narayana, wielding His disc, was coming in the sky on the back of Garuda, he immediately took a lotus flower in his trunk, and with great difficulty due to his painful condition, he uttered the following words: "O my Lord, Narayana, master of the universe, O Supreme Personality of Godhead, I offer my respectful obeisances unto You."
