In one attempt, Devadatta released the fierce, man-killing Nalagiri elephant, maddened with alcohol, while the Buddha was on his alms rounds in the street. Trumpeting wildly, the Nalagiri elephant charged the Buddha. Townspeople fled in terror. The Buddha stood calmly, extending his loving-kindness toward the elephant. Tamed by this compassion, Nalagiri knelt at the Buddha's feet.
