FAQs
Legitimate greatness: even the “lordly” Airāvata is presented as arising from lineage, implying that power should be understood within lawful origins and responsibility.
The genealogy culminates in Airāvata’s birth from Irāvatī and identifies Mātaṅgī as the progenitress of elephants.
Respect for rightful order: greatness is narrated as part of an ordered cosmos rather than random force.
