Basically, the earliest available teachings of the Buddha are to be found in Pli literature and belong to the school of Therav da Buddhism. We can define the term ‘elephant’ in Pli such as “ Hatthi -a male elephant, Hatth n -a female elephant”respectively”. In Buddhism, a white elephant is considered particularly auspicious, and is associated with the birth of the Buddha.

The Vinaya Laws are similar in certain respects to other ecclesiastical law, but it differs fundamentally in itsstructure, jurisprudence and application from the latter. The laws of Vinaya are more distinct and better codified than any other the contemporary law-codes. The Buddhist Vinaya is based on celibacy, moral precepts and doctrinal ideals. The Buddha not only codified the ascetic principles but also improved them in changing its aim, scope and nature. So, the identity of Buddhist jurisprudence can be divided into eight vital characteristics, which are as follows:- 1) Sammuti (convention), 2) contribution of Brahamacariya (Celibacy), 3) the influence of the institution of Yatis (a pious ascetic), 4) Uposatha in Order Literature, 5) public opinion, 6) Suggestion of Bhikkhu , 7) Atikka...

Elephant's forms are an important part of Hindu Buddhist and other myths. Basically, the earliest available teachings of the Buddha are to be found in Pali literature and belong to the school of Theravada Buddhism. We can define the term 'elephant' in Pali such as "Hatthi-a male elephant, Hatthini-a female elephant" respectively". In Buddhism, a white elephant is considered particularly auspicious and is associated with the birth of the Buddha. From the Pali texts, the group of elephants can divide into two main groups namely: first group:-at the instance of the symbolic conflict such as Girimekhala, Nalagiri, Mahilamukha etc., second group:-at the instance of the symbolic peace such as Paccaya, A white elephant, Parileyyaka, Bhaddavati and Eravan etc. The main characteristics of the elephant are strength and steadfastness. Therefore, elephant becomes a symbol of physical and mental strength, as well as responsibility and earthiness. Buddhism emphasizes on human effort, and has no faith in the divine power that is why; it is called a non-theistic religion which believes in the ability of the human beings. The communication is a human need. In particular, the relationship between the person in the society and social, all details about the

It would be worthy to note here that the core of the Buddhist jurisprudence is Parivasa (Probation of Offender) which is the Buddhist solution to reform and rehabilitate the criminal leading him to the attainment of final blessing i.e. Nibbana.
