As a wise minister, the Bodhisatta investigates the king’s once-gentle state elephant, Mahilāmukha, who suddenly turns violent and begins killing his handlers. Recognizing no physical illness, the Bodhisatta discovers the elephant had overheard nightly conversations of burglars plotting murder and violence, mistakenly adopting their advice. By replacing the thieves with virtuous sages to speak of mercy and loving-kindness, the elephant quickly reforms, restoring his gentle nature and earning the Bodhisatta great royal honors.
