A certain king of elephant tries to cross a lake or something? A crocodile clutches onto his foot… Both animals being strong, tug goes on for a long time, while the elephant prays for Vishnu.
At the brink of it’s life, Vishnu finally heeds the prayer, and runs to save it just as he is. Which means without his top cloth. And his weapons. But he holds his wife’s saree tho. Too polite to say anything, she walks along.
Finally, the weapons were following him, so he picks up his discuss blade, and off the croc… And then both the croc and King Jumbo get Salvation.
Yup, details might vary, but look it up… Gajendra Moksha.
It’s a whole element in Indian mythology.
