Gajendra Moksha
Gajendra Moksha or The Liberation of Gajendra is a Puranic legend from the eighth Skandha of the Bhagavata Purana. It is one of the famous exploits of the god Vishnu. In this episode, Vishnu came down to earth to protect Gajendra, the elephant, from the clutches of Makara, the Crocodile, and with Vishnu's help, Gajendra achieved moksha or salvation. Gajendra then attained a form like that of the god (Sarupya Mukti) and went to Vaikuntha with Vishnu.
