The story is not just a story of an elephant and a crocodile it is about the man his ego and his selfishness. The man is surrounded by so many illusions Maya that he becomes egoistic. For him nothing is stronger than himself. But when any problem or the dark image of his works come face to face only then he learns about his true position which is no less than hollow and fake one. This is the time he regrets and surrenders himself to the almighty.

The great book Bhagwat Puraan says that who so ever will chant or listen to the Gajendra Moksha regularly to him success and fame will come naturally without him failing into the trap of Ego and worldly attachments. And he’ll not have bad dreams or suffer from nightmares.

He was so engrossed in his enjoyment that he didn’t notice a crocodile approaching the crocodile caught hold of his foot and tired to get him down. Thus the battle between the two strong animals started. But crocodile beings an aquatic animal was more powerful in water thus was able to pull the elephant more. Gajendra unable to release his foot from the strong grip of the crocodile prayed to the almighty. His prayer was immediately answered and he was rescued was prided MOKSHA from the clutches of Crocodile.
