Kandula
Kandula is a famous elephant mentioned in the Mahanvamsa[?] (the Great Chronicle of Lanka) by Mahanaman[?].
When King Duttagamani[?] (101 - 77 BC) was born, many gifts were said to have appeared spontaneously, among them a fine elephant who was found by a fisherman named Kandula. The elephant was named for its finder and became the companion of Duttagamani, serving as his mount during the wars that led to the unification of Sri Lanka.
