The elephant that was captured twice

New Indian Express  

Yoga Vasishtha tells the story of a huge elephant who lived in the Vindhya Hills. One day, the elephant was caught in an iron trap laid by an elephant catcher. When the elephant passed under the tree, the hunter jumped down, aiming to land on its head. The elephant could have easily trodden over the hunter, but it thought that was not bravery to trample over a fallen enemy. After the elephant had gone away, the hunter slowly got up from the ground.
