Chapter 10 verse 27
“Amongst horses know me to be Ucchaihshravas, begotten from the churning of the ocean of nectar. I am Airavata amongst all lordly elephants, and the king amongst humans.”
In the samudra manthanam (churning of the celestial ocean for immortality lending nectar by devas and asuras), several objects, beings came out of the ocean during the churn. Among them was the most beautiful and fastest horse in the universe, Ucchaihshravas. This horse was pure white in color and said to have wings or at least as fast as if it was flying. Among the elephants, the most majestic and beautiful of all is the vehicle of Indra, Airavata- the white elephant among the celestials. As well, the mightiest among men usually becomes the king of men. All these creations are still just the reflection of Lord’s glories.
