Elephant is a Domestic Animal

Elephant is a domestic animal
Meek, polished and with good demeanour

Takes baths often

Wears ornaments and vibhuthi

Eats cooked food sometimes

Always accompanied by assistants

Caparisoned and adorned for special occasions

Enjoys the percussion

And who says that Elephant is a wild animal

If it is a wild animal,

Who will make the heavy ornated caparisons for it?

Who will train it to stand up and sit down?

Who will deafen it by the loud strains?

And who will make it stand for hours under the scorching sun?
