Dhammapada · 23.5
Dhanapālo nāma kuñjaro, kaṭukabhedano dunnivārayo;Baddho kabaḷaṃ na bhuñjati, sumarati nāgavanassa kuñjaro.
Dhanapalo nama kunjaro, katukabhedano dunnivarayo; Baddho kabalam na bhunjati, sumarati nagavanassa kunjaro.
The elephant called Dhanapāla, hard to control when in rut, even when bound, eats no morsel — he remembers the elephant forest.
