The first relief may represent the Buddha's taming of the elephant Nalagiri, who had been inebriated by Buddha's jealous cousin Devadatta, making him wild. Upon encountering the Buddha, however, Nalagiri immediately calmed down; for another example, see I. Kurita, Gandharan Art, vol. I, fig. P3-XI, p. 144.
