The elephant is the symbol of Ajitanath, the second Jain Tirthankara of the present era. He was a soul that had been freed from all karma. He received Kevala jnana from Shikharji on the fifth day of the bright half of the month of Chaitra, and on Chaitra-Shukla-Panchami, he gained Moksha. Yogini & Ajithabala Yakshis, the Saptha-parna tree, the Mahayaksha Yaksha, and the Elephant symbol of Ajinatha are all associated with him.
